Dear Steve,
I spent most of my adult life teaching people how to heat their homes
without smoke coming from the chimney, when I see pictures of areas where bio
char is being made I see horrible air pollution from the fires, and then I see
trucks burning tons of gas/diesel to move this product long distances and sold
so cheap that it's producers really don't get paid much at all for all this
effort. I am really not even sure that there is any benefit which has been
proven yet. If indeed there is a benefit to our food cycle, then there must
also be a way of accomplishing this end without what looks like so much waste
and pollution of air, land, and water. I am beginning to think that the only
answer is negative population growth......sterilize everyone at birth, and
remove a good portion of the overall population.....but where would they go?

Hello Alex.....
So I guess maybe I am interested in learning about how char is made now
and just maybe I might think of ways to make it with less environmental down
sides. Any further info would be great, Thanks for your time.
I think you need to be more specific about how you think that using all the
energy from the rest of the material in a clean way makes the resulting carbon
residue have downsides ? The carbon residue is sequestered carbon, ready to be
put back into the plant cycle. Slash/burn isn't designed to make char, its
designed to clear land.
Steve
