Andrew Crane-Droesch (PhD candidate, Energy and Resources Group) discussed\u00a0 his research on agricultural biochar adoption in Kenya titled “Black Powder in Red Soil: Benefits, social learning about benefits, and technology adoption in Western Kenya”.<\/p>\n

Though preliminary, positive field results are promising, and beyond yield gains for small farmers in certain situations, biochar holds promise as a potential carbon sequestration option to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n
