[Terrapreta] Strong warning against "simple" charcoal kilns

[Greg and April]

I'm confused, what part of Net Zero Emmisions do people not understand?

It doesn't matter how simple or complex a pryolisys unit is, any gas that escapes, is reused when the next generation of plants grows.


If ANY char is then sequestered ( rather than used as fuel ), the result is effectivly negitive CO2 flow.


If you get people worrying about every last little whiff of gas, the details will kill the effort, and you defeat your self.


Simply put, you sell them on the concept of TP as a soil amendment, then once they are sold and using it, you then sell them on improving the emmisions of their char production unit.


Let's get char cheap enough for the common person to put it in the ground in effective quanities - then we can worry about improving emmisions efficency.
