<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I want to support Ron's question about the content of the
webinar. And I too have registered for the webinar. And I give
an extra note:<br>
<br>
If the webinar is totally restricted to the making of char WITH
THE CONDITION THAT THE CHAR WILL BE BURNED, then we need to
schedule a webinar that relates to the sustainable making of char
WITH THE INTENTION THAT THE CHAR WILL BE SEQUESTERED.<br>
<br>
In the end, when a person or household or even a small business
has the capacity to make char (as can be done with the TLUD
cookstoves), the OPTIONS can exist for the person, etc to receive
payment for the carbon sequestration value AND for the possible
value of the char as biochar into the soil. OR to burn the
char. In this, the market values will prevail. And we can note
the TRIPLE advantage of <br>
1. Using low-value sustainable biomass (maize cobs, small wood,
biomass briquettes, etc) for COOKING meals.<br>
2. Receiving payment for carbon sequestered (the char must be
made "UN-burnable", such as mixing it with dirt or compost)<br>
3. Obtaining the benefits of biochar into agricultural soils,
including food for eating or for sale.<br>
<br>
Webinars need to cover these aspects also. Clarification from
the webinar organizers is needed.<br>

sent a note into the Winrock/EPA/GACC system, saying that
I feared they were going to be promoting a sub-optimum
system. That is - I want to see TLUDs also noted as an
alternative - one that will probably save time and money
and be cleaner (these benefits I am saying here for the
first time). Char should be used for atmospheric carbon
dioxide removal (CDR). If they fail to mention that there
are alternatives to charcoal briquettes (namely biomass
briquettes that can be turned to char while cooking - not
before cooking) - then I will be very disappointed in the
process of their figuring out what to talk about.</div>
