What is BioChar?

What is BioChar

Biochar can be made from organic biomass. What is biomass? Biomass is every where: grass clippings, timber waste, trees with beetle infestation, crop waste, vegetable scraps, cardboard, paper, manure and even dead animals. After all we are just talking about durable carbon that remains in the soil for very long periods of time.

Biochar and charcoal may look alike but the difference is how they are used. Charcoal is used as a fuel and biochar is used in the soil as a valuable soil amendment. It holds nutrients in the soil preventing them from washing away from storms.

How is biochar made from organic biomass?

Organic biomass is heated to a high temperature absent of oxygen, in doing so a chemical process occurs and moisture is driven out of the material and dried out, what is left is a very light black material that under a microscope looks like a honeycomb.

Biochar For Climate Change

Biochar is a tool for linked to bioenergy production can be carbon negative and restore infertile soil to help reduce climate change.

By enriching the soil we remove and sequester excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the soil.

Biochar Resources

BioChar on Paulownia Tree Farms

Our paulownia tree plantations that are utilized in carbon project managment for the the creation of carbon credits for the voluntary and compliance carbon markets utilize the biochar as a soil amendment to grow healthy paulownia trees.

As you see how the use of biochar supports a 360 degree circular economy. Utilizing our paulownia forest waste, the limbs from the tops of the trees, the off cuts from our paulownia lumber operations and saw dust are used as biochar biomass to feed our trees the nutrients they need and support healthy soils for all of our agricultural operations.

Paulownia Trees Planted Around The World

Paulownia Trees Planted Around The World

Paulownia trees are planted in over 60 countries.

History of Introduction Paulownia Trees and International Spread
In the past, P. tomentosa has been introduced as an ornamental in many European countries and in the USA. It was brought to Europe in the 1830s by the Dutch East India Company, and taken to North America a few years later, and has been naturalized in the eastern USA and is also grown on the west coast.

Details of Where Paulownia Are Planted CABI link: https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.1079/cabicompendium.39100

You must know that there are 17 different species of paulownia.
Everyone reading this post must do their homework. There are 17 different species of paulownia trees (depending on taxonomic authority) in the family Paulowniaceae.

TYPES OF PAULOWNIA TREES
Six to 17 species, including: Paulownia catalpifolia Paulownia elongata Paulownia fargesii Paulownia fortunei Paulownia kawakamii Paulownia taiwaniana Paulownia tomentosa

Tested and confirmed species:[13]
Paulownia kawakamii
Paulownia tomentosa
Paulownia catalpifolia
Paulownia x taiwaniana
Paulownia elongata
Paulownia fargesii
Paulownia fortunei — dragon tree.[25]
Potential variety, hybrid, and synonym species:
Paulownia glabrata
Paulownia grandifolia
Paulownia imperialis
Paulownia australis
Paulownia lilacina
Paulownia longifolia
Paulownia meridionalis
Paulownia mikado
Paulownia recurva
Paulownia rehderiana
Paulownia shensiensis
Paulownia silvestrii
Paulownia thyrsoidea
Paulownia duclouxii
Paulownia viscosa

Prepared by CABI of Wellington, UK for the purpose of identification of the Paulownia Elongata species for use in United Nation countries for Carbon Credit plantations. This document accepts the Paulownia Elongata as a non-invasive species in all United Nation Countries.

It says in that document “Paulownia is categorized as an invasive exotic”.
Yes it dos say that.

BUT IT ALSO SAYS:
Paulownia is categorized as an invasive exotic. Although there is little doubt that it is an exotic, the question of its invasiveness is open to conjecture. The many small seeds of Paulownia are windblown. However, the seeds do not germinate and survive unless the seed falls on sterile soil. New germinates of Paulownia have a high rate of mortality from damping-off disease caused by a variety of soil fungi. Generally, Paulownia does not colonize open areas unless sterile soil is present, as in construction activities, recent burned areas and road cuts. Rarely does Paulownia colonize fields, because of the ever-present fungi.

Only one, the tomentosa, is listed as invasive in some areas. This single species has painted the entirety of the genus into the corner of being labeled as invasive and gets all the attention, while the other species are assumed to have the same traits. This is an incorrect assumption that requires further exploration.

The species as a whole should not be labeled as invasive. The seeds are extremely difficult to germinate and the trees actually have a low survival rate in the wild compared to native trees.
Paulownia offer many ecosystem benefits including carbon drawdown, soil restoration, pollination services, and shade for companion crops not found in other trees. All together, these characteristics make the paulownia an ideal tree to grow for both economic and environmental reasons.
Most of the information found on the internet does not differentiate between the 17 different species within the genus Paulownia, but only one, the tomentosa, is invasive in some areas of the world.

Paulownia Tree Carbon Projects – Carbon Developers

Carbon Developers Choose Paulownia Trees

Why choose paulownia trees for your next carbon development project?

The paulownia tree is a nature based carbon sequestration solution. It can capture and store up to 35kg of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere every year. This equals up to 40 tons per hectare per year! Which is 4 times the capacity of a mixed coniferous forest. The large leaves which are inherit to the species help it with this task. The CO2 is stored in the wood post harvest and wood processed into high value lumber materials. Paulownia is making a sustainable contribution to climate protection around the world.

The world has a long road ahead to meet its climate goals, new tree forest and the forest carbon credits market is just one of many important solutions.

Carbon credits put a price on carbon to incentivize investments and innovations in technology and behavior that helps us reduce our global emissions.

Forests are being used to reduce net global emissions, which also reflect the types of projects that provide forest carbon credits.

Almost 25% of global carbon dioxide emissions are now covered by pricing mechanisms, with a market value of more than USD 80 billion in 2021. Forestry is one of the most popular and fastest-growing sources of carbon credits.

Forest carbon credits is growing at 20% p.a., driven by independent supply from mainly emerging regions, and compliance demand concentrated in North America, Europe and Oceania.

It’s clear that the world can only meet its climate goals through a combination of emissions reduction and removal solutions, and this is where forest will play a critical role.

DEMAND
About 20% of forest carbon credit demand comes from the voluntary market – organizations and individuals that buy credits to offset their emissions, for example to achieve a net-zero pledge. And the remaining 80%, the demand from compliance markets, represents purchases from parties that have a legal obligation to reduce their emissions – in many cases, companies, such as those in heavy manufacturing or energy production.

While governments play a role in creating compliance markets, for example by setting emissions quotas and establishing emissions trading schemes, government represents a relatively small part of actual purchases of forest carbon credits.

Afforestation and reforestation (A/R): Here the approach is to establish forests on land with relatively low carbon stock, ecological and economic value (e.g., scrubland). Often, it is land that was previously forested but was cleared by human activity.

Creating new forests and avoiding deforestation is a low-tech and cost-effective way to tackle climate change. New forest and old growth forest trees offer many co-benefits to carbon sequestration, including increased biodiversity and erosion control.

Afforestation/reforestation projects can simultaneously earn carbon credits and be managed for the production of timber. Second, established plantations can earn carbon credits if they are managed in a way that increases carbon sinks, for example, by improving growth, reducing damage, or reducing harvest.

Commercial forest production is a significant carbon sink and offers other economic and climate benefits. These benefits are larger when considering the products that substitute less climate-friendly alternatives.
