1 Waste Biomass & Christoph Steiner The Prospects of Biochar Biorefining & Carbon Cycling Program
2 Global problems soil degradation peak oil Hubbert s Peak in 2007 FAO's global food price index rose 40% to the highest level on record World fertilizer prices surge 200% International Center for Soil Fertility and Agricultural Development, IFDC Climate change Dedicating land to biofuels increases carbon emissions Corn-based ethanol doubles greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years Searchinger et al. 2008, Science
3 Soil degradation Agriculture without mineral fertilizers maintaining SOC The soil C pool is 3.3 times the size of the atmospheric pool and 4.5 times the size of the biotic pool. Lal 2004, Science
4 Soil degradation mineral fertilizers further decline in SOC Laurens Rademakers Most agricultural soils have lost 60 to >75% (20 80 Mg ha -1 ) of their original SOC (Lal, 2004, Science) From 1750 the emissions from land use change contributed about 30% to global warming (Lal, 2003).
5 Example I Chernozem or mollisol Most agriculturally productive soils (Duchaufour, 1998) ( world soil day, Schwarzerde = soil of the year 2005) Residues from vegetation fires, such as black carbon (BC) (Glaser et al., 2000) BC constituting up to 45% of the SOM BC is several millennia in age (Schmidt et al., 2002)
6 Example II Terra Preta Ferralsol Terra Preta B. Glaser

17 UGA Biorefining and Carbon Cycling Program
18 The Products of Pyrolysis Char, Bio-oil, Syngas
19 Biochar from different feedstock
20 Poultry litter stabilization, pathogen and odor reduction Ash (complete combustion) high concentration of minerals (P, K, Ca, Mg,. Loss of nitrogen (N) Biochar (pyrolysis, carbonization) concentration of minerals (P, K, Ca, Mg,. 70% of N lost (400 C depending on temp.) Compost (composting) Concentration of minerals (P, K, Ca, Mg,. Loss of nitrogen (NH3 volatilization, 70 88%, Ogunwande et al., 2008)
21 Field, Lab- and Greenhouse Experiments
22 Experiment I fertilization efficiency 1.5 Mg ha -1 (52.5 kg N ha -1 ) 3 Mg ha -1 (105 kg N ha -1 ) 6 Mg ha -1 (210 kg N ha -1 ) MF = NH 4 NO 3 KCl CaHPO 4 and MgSO 4 In addition one unfertilized control
23 Results total biomass production (sum of 4 harvests) 30 Biomass production g pot L1 L2 L3 0 CO PL MF PLc MFc CO = control, PL = poultry litter, MF = mineral fertilizer based on PL, PLc = carbonized PL, MFc = MF based on PLc
24 Results N uptake in relation to N fertilized N uptake mg kg -1 soil N fertilized mg kg -1 soil CO PL PLc MF MFc Linear (PL) Linear (PLc) Linear (MF) Linear (MFc) y = 0.244x R² = y = 0.005x R² = y = 0.723x R² = y = 0.697x R² = 0.999
25 Experiment II biochar as bulking agent in composting
26 Compost with and without biochar 0% biochar 20% biochar 20% biochar
27 Faster decomposition temperature
28 Faster decomposition increased respiration
29 Reduced Nitrogen Losses with 20% biochar Ammonia emissions reduced by up to 64% Total N losses reduced by up to 52%
