Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:50, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Pyrogenic carbon capture and storage into Biochar carbon removal. I think both terms describe the same concept, but Biochar Carbon Removal is the more commonly used and easily understanable one. PYCCS may remain a relevan term in science and should thus be explained under Biochar Carbon Removal.Calidumpluviam (talk) 20:09, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support and happy to help with editing; not sure if any of the PyCCS writers are still active on WP as the article hasn't had much in the way of updates for a year, but they should be given time to respond to this. Wikiwayman (talk) 18:53, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Negative emissions technology?

Please describe why this technology causes negative emissions. Carbon that is already been removed from the atmosphere is heated, which occurs through combustion. This releases carbon back into the atmosphere, which are positive emissions. Con-struct (talk) 09:45, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This talk page isn't the right place for a technical discussion, I rather recommend the lecture of some of the key references on the subject matter.

But two important aspects: biochar is not produced through combustion, but through pyrolysis.80-90% of the carbon is actually fixed, so process emissions are rather small. Feedstock is typically a waste biomass product that would otherwise decompose and release more carbon. Compared to this base scenario, biochar maximises carbon storage. 41.182.56.70 (talk) 07:40, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More simply put: the carbon stored by far exceeds the carbon emitted. 41.182.56.70 (talk) 07:42, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
