USE OF CARBON BLACK FOR SOIL CONDITIONING
Carbon black can be used for soil conditioning, e.g. to promote growth of plants, to promote soil drainage, and to prevent erosion, evaporation, and silting up. The carbon back is worked into the topsoil.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE CONTROL OF BIOMASS CONVERSION SYSTEMS
A system and method for a reactor-based biomass processing comprising: detecting a biomass input, comprising: detecting the biomass type, detecting the biomass quality, comprising detecting the biomass composition including the biomass moisture content, and detecting the biomass quantity; determining an optimized end-product, wherein the end-product is at least partially based on: a selected production target, the biomass input, and on local conditions; and producing the end-product, comprising: monitoring reaction conditions, configuring the reactor for the output production, based at least partially on biomass input, wherein configuring the reactor includes adjusting an oxygen flow rate into the reactor, and implementing a biomass decomposition.

REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF FARMING USING BIOCHAR
A method for using treated biochar to reduce the overall environmental impact of farming and minimize the carbon footprint of farms is provided. The method comprising engaging in one or more of the following practices: (1) combining treated biochar with feed or using biochar as feed for animals to reduce methane from enteric fermentation and increase animal health and nutrition; (2) combining treated biochar with compost, animal bedding or manure piles to reduce odor and increase nutrient retention; (3) applying treated biochar to lagoons to reduce odor and treat water; (4) applying treated biochar to pastures to increase pasture health; (5) applying treated biochar to crops to increase crop productivity, healthier roots and prevent fertilizer leaching; and (6) using the carbon negativity of a produced biochar to reduce the overall farm or ranch carbon footprint.

SEQUESTERING CARBON AND MANAGING AND RESTORING PLANT HEALTH IN PROBLEM SOILS
Implementations generally relate to a system for sequestering carbon. In some implementations, a system includes a carbon source, where the carbon source causes soil chemical reactions that enhance nutrient uptake of at least one plant and that increase above and below ground biomass production, and where the carbon source further increases carbon sequestration in soil surrounding roots of the at least one plant. The system also includes a membrane structure configured to expose the roots of the at least one plant to the carbon source.
