Harnessing the potential of pigeonpea and maize feedstock biochar for carbon sequestration, energy generation, and environmental sustainability

Abstract

• Biochar produced from crop residues: a sustainable solution for decreasing atmospheric CO₂ levels

•The temperature used during pyrolysis has a notable impact on the yield and characteristics of biochar. Biochar produced at 400°C shows superior characteristics, including higher CO₂ reduction potential

•Biochar from both biomass sources meets the quality criteria for soil carbon sequestration

Keywords
