Biochar is a solid material obtained from pyrolysis of biomass that can be used to improve soils and sequester carbon. It has three main benefits: 1) it sequesters carbon in soil for hundreds to thousands of years, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, 2) it improves soil structure and texture by increasing nutrient and water retention, and 3) it reduces emissions of greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide from soil. Biochar has potential to improve agricultural productivity in Pakistan by enhancing soil quality while also providing a tool for climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration.
