<div dir="ltr">Dear Mark,<div>with our system of charring, we get char yield of about 30% of the original biomass. See our web site <a href="http://www.samuchit.com">www.samuchit.com</a> for a video of the process. But what you say is basically correct. The sequestering of char is a carbon negative process.</div><div>Yours</div><div>A.D.Karve </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">***<br>Dr. A.D.

Alternatively, if the woody waste is left to rot in situ, the carbon sequestration is 0% (all carbon is released/transformed into CO2 and other gasses).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large">True?</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:large"><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">Mark Bell</font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">Director, Petawawa Renewable Power Corporation, GP <br></font><span style="font-size:x-small">PO Box 15</span><font size="1"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">Orangeville, Ontario </font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">L9W 2Z5</font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">Tel: 416 209 7351</font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
