DO 181 - The Weird Wild Wonderful World of Biochar with Tom Miles, Kelpie Wilson, Myles Gray, and Josh Kearns

The Weird Wild Wonderful World of Biochar – with Tom Miles, Kelpie Wilson, Myles Gray, and Josh


What is biochar and why should we care about it? A roundtable discussion with veterans of the biochar world.


Tom Miles – TR Miles Consultants (ag and bioenergy) and US Biochar Initiative

Kelpie Wilson – Wilson Biochar

Myles Gray – US Biochar Initiative

Josh Kearns – A Field Guide to Biochar Water Treatment


Interest in biochar – “charcoal, with a purpose” – has been growing for 20 years. Biochar can enhance garden and agricultural soils and improve crop yields, provide a mechanism for drawdown and sequestering of atmospheric carbon, and provide a tunable engineered sorbent for a variety of water treatment and environmental remediation applications.


In this conversation, we discuss contemporary innovations and developments for using biochar to tackle a variety of sustainability challenges.
