[Terrapreta] a braoder theory of torrefaction and TP

[lou gold]

I like it Duane,

I believe that credit would also have to require that the char be amended to
soil. The problem is that char can be used as fuel which would move it from
carbon negative to carbon neutral.

So here's the logical question: can the char be made into a form only
suitable as a soil amendment? Or are we looking at inspections and controls
to prevent diversions into fuel?
