This carbon, biochar, is useful in agriculture, water treatment, and other applications. Applications of pyrolysis include creating carbon negative home heating systems that harvest carbon for constructive uses, as well as, for example, clean burning stoves that reduce health risks created by traditional three stone stoves. The biochar produced by these pyrolytic stoves will provide farmers with a beneficial soil amendment.
