ABSTRACT
In order for pyrolysis and agriculturally applied biochar to be an important development, they must jointly be an economically attractive alternative.This economic attractiveness could arise from a combination of:
• valuable energy commodity yields (as also discussed in Chapters 8 and 9);
• value arising from biochar as a soil additive (see Chapters 5 and 12);
• valuable greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets generated by offsetting fossil fuels, reducing emissions from use of agricultural inputs and sequestering carbon (C) (see Chapter 18); and
• value arising from other chemical products.
