Funded Activity Summary

The charXive challenge and the clean coal quest: thermokinetic principles and methods for capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide. Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol, which Australia signed in 2007, states that a transfer of carbon credits may only take place if the associated activity provides a reduction in emissions by sources or an enhancement of removals by sinks that is additional to any that would otherwise occur. Since biochar production reduces emissions from biomass decay and transfers oxidized carbon from the atmosphere to the inactive black carbon pool this project will contribute to the national effort in additional greenhouse gas abatements. The Australian Government is also committed to clean coal technologies, which are expensive. An economically viable method of capturing carbon emissions from electricity generators will result from this project.
