A $400M project to turn 12M burnt trees on Kangaroo Island into biocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More could help the island bounce back from devastating bushfires.
“Mr Davies said only 5 per cent of the 14,400 hectares of timber plantations were spared from the fires. It will take about four years to harvest all the burnt trees, with the biochar project on Kangaroo Island to run for about 10 years. There are 4.5 million tonnes of fire-damaged timber.”
