Wildfire char: A natural solution for reducing methane emissions
This discovery highlights a natural mechanism to suppress methane emissions through wildfire char's electron storage capacity enhancing beneficial soil microbes. This presents significant commercial opportunities in climate technology. Businesses could develop and market advanced biochar products as soil amendments for agriculture, focused on carbon sequestration and methane reduction. There's also a market for consulting on sustainable land management and wildfire mitigation strategies that leverage these ecological benefits.
