Biochar is gradually gaming interest globally as a climate change mitigation measure in the agriculture forestry and other land use (AFOLUJ sector. It is produced in the absence of oxygen through a process called pyrolysis mainly from biomass material However, a host of other materials (feedstock) can be used Several studies in different areas across the world have demonstrated that deploying biochar in soils results in benefits that include enhanced agncultural yield, a reduction in leaching of nutrients a reduction in soil acidity, increased soil water retention and a reduction in fertilizer use and irrigation requirements
In South Africa the recently published Mitigation Potential Analysis (MPA) and the National Terrestrial Ca'bon Sinks Assessment (NTCSA) identified biochar as one of the land-based mitigation opportunities that can contribute to a ưansition to a lower carbon economy. However, not much is known about biochar in South Africa despite the existence of a few very small-scale projects Consequently the current project was commissioned to assess the potential and sustainability to produce biochar at scale, mainly as a mitigation measure in
soils, in addition to other benefits (socioeconomic and environmental benefits) However further ongoing and long-term monitoring and research into the production and application of biochar is required to address a number of uncertainties identified dirough this specific project.
Although the independent research and findings contained In this report do not necessarily represent the views, opinions andior position of government, the Department believes that this research IS critical to enhance our understanding of the potential and sustainability of the production of biochar, together with the socioeconomic and environmental benefits, especially in the AFOLU sector Hence, the Department IS happy to make this work publicly available and accessible
