Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Policy Options: Reducing Australia’s Dependence on Coal, Natural Gas, and Other Nonrenewable Energy Resources

2011

Scholarly Work

Michael Jeffery

This article explores the role of industry in enabling Australia to move toward a less carbon intensive economy, with a closer look at industry's role in carbon capture and storage, afforestation and reforestation, and biochar technologies.

2011

Scientific Report

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

This meeting report summarizes discussions of three Working Groups to the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) on geoengineering, including carbon dioxide removal.

Adjusting Carbon Management Policies to Encourage Renewable, Net-Negative Projects Such as Biochar Sequestration

2010

Scholarly Work

Darrel Fruth, Joseph Ponzi

This article considers the present legal challenges to adjust carbon management policies, specifically carbon crediting schemes, for biochar as a carbon sequestration technique.

Evaluation of the Opportunities for Generating Carbon Offsets from Soil Sequestration of Biochar

2010

Scholarly Work

Steven De Gryze, Michael Cullen , Leslie Durschinger

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the issues involved in generating carbon offsets from the production and incorporation of biochar into soil, with a focus on the use of biochar in the United States.

2010

Scientific Report

House of Commons Science and Technology Committee

This report, written in collaboration with the U.S. House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee, examines the need for the regulation of geoengineering activities and provides an outlines of future regulatory arrangements.

A Coordinated Strategy Could Focus Federal Geoengineering Research and Inform Governance Efforts

2010

Scientific Report

United States Government Accountability Office

This report examines the state of geoengineering science, federal involvement in geoengineering, the extent to which federal laws and international agreements apply to geoengineering, and any governance challenges around geoengineering activities.

Biochar and Waste Law: A Comparative Analysis

2009

Scholarly Work

Caroline Van de bergh

This article provides a comparative analyses whether biochar is waste in the EU and the US and whether the pyrolysis treatment, transportation and storage of biochar may be exempted from the regulatory burden placed on the classification of waste.

Biochar – One Way Forward for Soil Carbon in Offset Mechanisms in Africa?

2009

Scholarly Work

Thea Whitman , Johannes Lehmann

This paper explores how small-scale biochar systems with net emission reductions may hold a key for Africa to engage with the international offset mechanisms and open the door to soil carbon sequestration projects.

H.R.3748 – Water Efficiency via Carbon Harvesting and Restoration (WECHAR) Act of 2009

2009

Proposed Legislation

This bill sets up a joint Department of Interior and USDA loan guarantee program to commercialize biochar production units that produce net-negative carbon emissions.
