I suggested this at IAI Conf.

*DYNAMOTIVE TESTS BIOFUEL BYPRODUCT AS SOIL ENHANCER*
*Globe-Net, *June 6, 2007
Dynamotive is taking part in a project to test biochar, a co-product of the
company's BioOil(r) biofuel, as a soil enhancer to increase fertility and corn
crop yields. Dynamotive's BioOil(r) biofuel is produced using carbon-neutral
fast pyrolysis. However, the company believes the use of its biochar
co-product as an agricultural soil enhancer means the production processes
would be carbon negative – resulting in a net reduction of carbon by
"sequestering" it in the soil.

There could be legal/environmental problems transporting the oil?
