8:30 Window on The World
Another People Fixing the World from the BBC World Service. Sixteen percent of greenhouse gas emissions could be saved by using biochar, a simple fertilising technique adopted by tribes in the Amazon thousands of years ago. If produced on an industrial scale, scientists say biochar could be as powerful as renewable energy in the fight against climate change.
Workers cover biochar to dry in the sun before it is packed and distributed at the Eco Fuel Africa factory in Lugazi on January 29, 2013. The process produces a powder which can be used as an organic fertilizer or compressed for use as a bio fuel which burns longer than charcoal.
