Biochar, a carbon (C)-rich material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass
under oxygen-limited environments, has been proposed as one of the most promising …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an established organic waste management technology,
producing biogas and organic fertiliser as end-products. Despite being an established …

Biochar, like most other adsorbents, is a carbonaceous material, which is formed from the
combustion of plant materials, in low-zero oxygen conditions and results in a material, which …

Agriculture and land use change has significantly increased atmospheric emissions of the
non-CO2 green-house gases (GHG) nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). Since human …

Using organic amendments to fertilise crops is a crucial part in the sustainability of
agricultural systems. The residual slurry remaining after biogas production (anaerobic …

Oil is a desirable substrate for anaerobic digestion (AD) for its high energy recovery
potential. However, low solubility of oil and long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) inhibition hinder …

During the last decade, biochars have been considered as attractive and eco-friendly
materials with various applications including wastewater treatment, energy production and …

Reducing mineral fertilizer application is an important management practice for mitigating
nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. Crop straw and biochar are two farmer-friendly residues …

N 2 O emission from paddy soil is a potential environmental risk, especially when the soil
moisture content of paddy soil changes and excessive nitrogen retention occurs. Biochar is …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that is produced during microbial nitrogen
transformation processes such as nitrification and denitrification. Soils represent the largest …
