[Stoves] Biochar Production: Learn at Lunch Webinar, July 25

[Nikhil Desai]

Tom, List:

Someone just drew my attention to the potential for farming in the
oceans - Robotic
Kelp Farms Promise an Ocean Full of Carbon-Neutral, Low-Cost Energy
<http://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/renewables/robotic-kelp-farms-promise-an-ocean-full-of-carbon-neutral-low-cost-energy>
IEEE
Spectrum March 2017.

Could oceans help generate billions of tons of biochar?
