• Cost‐benefit analysis of using biochar to improve cereals agriculture (2015, background): “The biochar concept has recently attracted considerable scientific interest for its capacity to enhance agricultural yields and carbon sequestration potential (Lehmann et al., 2006; Lehmann, 2007; Mathews, 2008; Sohi, 2013).”
• Biochar: Carbon Sequestration, Land Remediation, and Impacts on Soil Microbiology (2012, background): “Sustainable systems have been postulated (Mathews, 2008; Preston, 2009; Lee et al., 2010) in which biomass is used to simultaneously produce energy and charcoal, which, upon application to land, removes carbon from the short-term photosynthesis-mediated cycle to a long-term reservoir.”
• Review of biological and engineering aspects of algae to fuels approach (2009, background): “Biochar is recently considered as one of the best ways for long term and low cost carbon sequestration([101,102]).”
• The effect of light supply on microalgal growth, CO2 uptake and nutrient removal from wastewater (2014, background): “Thus, biofuel produced from microalgae can present net carbon emissions 56 near zero or even negative [12-14].”
• Mapping organic carbon stocks in eucalyptus plantations of the central highlands of Madagascar: A multiple regression approach (2011, background): “The ecosystem studied herein is a wood fuel coppice systemwhere after each cutting cycle only BLG and SOC remain in the site, and these stocks of C might constitute carbon-neutral and carbon-negative compartments as described by Mathews (2008).”
• Biochar impact on development and productivity of pepper and tomato grown in fertigated soilless media (2010, background): “As a result, there is continued interest in developing second and third generation biofuels which will be at least carbon neutral, if not carbon negative (Mathews 2008).”
