Nature’s Machine to Draw Carbon Down Exponentially
Charlotte O’Brien, director of Bio Bamboo and CO2 Drawdown Solutions, explains how to significantly draw down carbon from the atmosphere and sequester it as a biochar soil conditioner using bamboo to fuel pyrolysis.
Adding the Biochar to depleted soil fosters the spread of Mycorrhizal fungus in the soil, which in turn creates Glomalin (which sequesters even more Carbon). The enriched soil then produces more biomass which can be processed into more biochar…the result is an exponential carbon draw down! The process also generates a bevy of marketable bi-products.

a videographer friend in Hawaii just sent me VERY interesting bamboo
biochar video a few minutes ago, in which Charlotte O’Brien, Director of
Bio Bamboo, explains how to significantly draw down Carbon from the
atmosphere and sequester it as a Bio-Char soil conditioner using Bamboo to
fuel Pyrolysis.
Adding the Bio-Char to depleted soil fosters the spread of Mycorrhizal
fungus in the soil, which in turn creates Glomalin (which sequesters even
more Carbon). The enriched soil then produces more biomass which can be
processed into more biochar… the result is an exponential carbon draw
down! The process also generates a bevy of marketable bi-products.
I see this as a small part of the solution to an ENORMOUS problem , but a
meaningful step in the right direction.
Hi Charlotte, I am working on a biochar project in S.E. Costa Rica. We are
working primarily with organic, indigenous cacao producers. We are also
working on a drier system for a large organic cacao assoc. I am very
interested in using bamboo as a sustainable input for that drying system.
However, I am concerned about the high silica content of the bamboo char.
Please drop me a line at: art.donnelly@seachar.org
Great video….any sources for bulk biochar in the Hilo area? Any local
Hawaii resources for biochar or biochar equipment? Thanks…
Try Whispering Winds Bamboo in Kipahulu Maui
Wonderfull Idea and presentation.Any bio char centers in India.
That sawdust can be used to create more mushrooms thus flourishing nature
to a greater extent. Too bad corrupt governments/cartels/lobbyists and
other corrupt sources will profit off of this by simply removing the legal
use to the average citizen. Just like how Hemp used to be the wealth of the
nation in America now its ‘labeled’ illegal yet still pharmacies/government
programs can legally operate with it.
She’s doesn’t know what she talking about we only have around 15 years
according to NASA GODDARDS new projection I say we are screwed now
But your right about bamboo
