[Terrapreta] Dumping Char in a hole

[Kurt Treutlein]

Hi folkes

This is NOT an attack on anyone.

Someone just said:

"Otherwise, it would be cheaper to simply dump the
biochar into a hole in the ground. As coal is taken out of the ground,
we could simply backfill with biochar."

Others, in the past have said substantially the same thing.

It is a concept that bothers me greatly. Somehow there is something 
perverted  about the concept of digging up fossil carbon and replacing 
it with new carbon. Perhaps it would be better to burn it in a power 
generator instead and thereby release a lesser amount of fossil carbon 
into the atmosphere.

Better still, use it to make Terrapreta soil :)


regards

Kurt
