Isn't biochar more a play for soil protection?

Given that it’s pretty hard to reclaim carbon from it I’m thinking it’ll be a great way to just bury it and sell carbon sequestration credits (as a more legitimate sister to carbon credits).

What's your charring methodology?

I believe Charm industrial is using the biochar process, but producing oil and pumping it into the ground. Even in fields, it’s a solid idea.

And like you said, it’s recognized as being a very stable store of carbon for a very long time.

The trick is getting feedstock nearby so you aren’t pumping tons of CO2 into the air to acquire, move and process it.
