You will find crores of people all over the world, who Chocolate are liked. But if we tell you that Climate change Has the ability to reduce the effects of. You must have been surprised to read this, but experts believe that this can happen. they say that Biochar This can be possible with the help of This technology from Earth’s atmosphere Carbon Removal may help.
There is a biochar factory in Hamburg, Germany, where cocoa husks are heated to 600 degrees Celsius. After this, the black powder coming out of it has the ability to fight climate change. This special black powder is called Biochar.
How is biochar capable of fighting climate change?
Humans produce about 4000 tons of carbon dioxide every year on the earth. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) believes that biochar has immense potential in fighting climate change. Biochar can help in sequestering about 260 crore tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2). But at the same time increasing its use is a challenge.
Talking about biochar, it can be prepared in a special way. For this an oxygen free room is prepared. Cocoa husk is heated to about 600 degree Celsius in this room to make biochar.

Biochar can be used as fertilizer
At the end of the process of making biochar, the thing that comes out is used as manure. It can be used to make green concrete. Actually the process of making biochar captures green house gases. Circular Carbon which is the leading company making biochar.
He says that biochar can improve the quality of the soil. Along with this, it can also bring back the natural microbiological balance of the soil. Pike Steinlund, CEO of Circular Carbon, told news agency AFP that we are reversing the carbon cycle.

Biochar makes circular carbon
Talking about Circular Carbon, it takes used cocoa shells from a chocolate factory near it. This work is done by creating a network of pipes. Biochar captures the siTu present in the cocoa husk. This process can be followed with any other plant as well. In fact, on throwing cocoa peels in a normal way, the carbon present in it will mix in the atmosphere during the process of melting.
Scientist David Huban says that this carbon present in cocoa can remain imprisoned in biochar for centuries. Two and a half to three tons of carbon gets stored in a biochar.
