Our extensive collaboration with the Ithaka Institute for Carbon Strategies…
Genevieve Hodgins – Digging into biochar – Fighting climate change with charcoal in agriculture’
Dr Genevieve Hodgins, Project Manager for the Biochar Demonstrator, delivers a short talk on carbon removal approaches during the 2024 Pint of Science festival. To achieve net-zero and halt climate change, we need to not only reduce emissions but remove carbon from the atmosphere. There…
Biochar Blog #3: Biosolids, Fertilisers and Local Feedstocks – A warm welcome to our gap-filling research projects
Biochar is a greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technology that can potentially make a major contribution to the UK’s net zero target achieving greenhouse gas emission reductions when applied to agricultural lands, peatlands and other locations. However, the big questions are: how can we make sure it is environmentally sustainable and economically viable? And are there any technological improvements that can facilitate the realisation of these goals?
Biochar Blog #2 – Critical Understanding of Biochar: Sequestration potential and economic performance

In the Media – Listen by the Lake
The Biochar Demonstrator has contributed to one of four listening posts located on the banks of the boating lake at Highfields Park in Nottingham. At the press of a button, visitors can spend a few minutes hearing illustrated audio clips about the lives and work…
Biochar Blog #1 – The Basics!
Human greenhouse gas emissions are the root cause of climate change, affecting the Earth’s natural equilibrium. The effects of climate change are likely to include temperature rise, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events (e.g., drought and flooding),…
