And used to refer to different materials. The original use of the
term 'biocoal' was for the material produced by hydrothermal
carbonization. In my oopinion it should not be used for torrified
wood.
Your comment regarding aneorbic environments may well be correct, but
the prior treatment of the biomass clearly makes a difference as well
in that very old, deeply buried charcoal is rarely found. (I know of
no such from the geologic literature; only some in soils and still
young enough to approximately carbon radiodate.)
My original point was that we can begin now to bury the excess carbon
using a method known to be permanent. The technology exists (even if
you didn't care for my link to the story about the demonstration
plant.) All that is lacking is the will.
