Biochar from "Kon Tiki" flame curtain and other kilns: Effects of nutrient enrichment and kiln type on crop yield and soil chemistry
Pandit, Naba Raj; Mulder, Jan; Hale, Sarah; Schmidt, Hans Peter; Cornelissen, Gerard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Biochar application to soils has been investigated as a means of improving soil fertility and mitigating climate change through soil carbon sequestration. In the present work, the invasive shrub "Eupatorium adenophorum" ... -
Biochar improves maize growth by alleviation of nutrient stress in a moderately acidic low-input Nepalese soil
Pandit, Naba Raj; Mulder, Jan; Hale, Sarah; Martinsen, Vegard; Schmidt, Hans Peter; Cornelissen, Gerard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We studied the role of biochar in improving soil fertility for maize production. The effects of biochar on the alleviation of three potential physical-chemical soil limitations for maize growth were investigated, i.e. water ... -
Emissions and Char Quality of Flame-Curtain"Kon Tiki" Kilns for Farmer-Scale Charcoal/Biochar Production
Cornelissen, Gerard; Pandit, Naba Raj; Taylor, Paul; Pandit, Bishnu Hari; Sparrevik, Magnus; Schmidt, Hans Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Fourfold increase in pumpkin yield in response to low-dosage root zone application of urine-enhanced biochar to a fertile tropical soil
Schmidt, Hans Peter; Pandit, Bishnu Hari; Martinsen, Vegard; Cornelissen, Gerard; Conte, Pellegrino; Kammann, Claudia I. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)A widely abundant and invasive forest shrub, Eupatorium adenophorum, was pyrolyzed in a cost-efficient flame curtain kiln to produce biochar. The resulting biochar fulfilled all the requirements for premium quality, according ... -
Life-cycle assessment of biochar production systems in tropical rural areas: Comparing flame curtain kilns to other production methods
Smebye, Andreas; Sparrevik, Magnus; Schmidt, Hans Peter; Cornelissen, Gerard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A life-cycle assessment (LCA) using end point methods was performed for the generation and sequestration of one kg biochar by various pyrolysis methods suitable for rural tropical conditions. Flame curtain kilns, a novel, ... -
Nutrient effect of various composting methods with and without biochar on soil fertility and maize growth
Pandit, Naba Raj; Schmidt, Hans Peter; Mulder, Jan; Hale, Sarah; Husson, Olivier; Cornelissen, Gerard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work showed for the first time that organic nutrient transformation techniques based on locally available materials (manure, green waste and advanced biochar) can increase fertilizing efficiency of the resulting ...
