Biochar Update

There are a couple of noteworthy developments to report on the biochar front. On July 1, the Gates Foundation held a meeting on scientific, commercial, and policy aspects of biochar. On July 13, Cornell University hosted briefings on biochar for US House and Senate staff. Needless to say, in the current political environment work by the Gates Foundation, IBI, Carbon Consulting, and Blue Source merits considerably more attention than any initiatives within the US government.
