[Terrapreta] Dovetailing Cellulosic Ethanol with Biochar Production

[Ryan Hottle]

I am wondering about the possibility of combined cellulosic ethanol and
biochar production.

According to Wikipedia, cellulose production results in a "waste lignin"
that, can "provide the energy for the process with some excess to provide
electricity for the grid."  How about turning this waste lignin into
biochar, making the process net negative in terms of CO2 produced?

Look foward to hearing discussion on this.

Thanks,
Ryan
