Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the environmental impacts of using pyrolysis (biochar) and composting in agriculture, particularly focusing on a biochar-compost blend compared to traditional mineral fertilizer.
- Life cycle assessments were performed using data from experiments conducted in Spain, Italy, and Belgium, analyzing global warming, acidification, and eutrophication effects.
- Results indicated that the biochar-compost blend had lower environmental impacts than mineral fertilizers and provided similar crop yields, which could enhance its adoption by farmers, though attention to feedstock selection is necessary.
