Description
Biochar can be used for many purposes beyond its use for carbon sequestration and is a multifunctional substance. Detention basins are primarily a one-use area utilizing large spaces to hold stormwater, allowing the production of biomass for biochar would allow many uses from the space. Analysis of biochar application in detention basins as a means of utilizing space for maximum benefits. Additionally, helping with mitigation of climate change as well as increased rates of infiltration. In a world where climate change is at the forefront of importance, it is time now, more than ever, to put focus on change to better the world for future generations. In this paper, you will see an introduction of the importance of researching biochar, a literature review of research found on biochar, a feasibility study using an example site, and concluding points.
