There is provided iron powder having a halogenated organic compound treating performance equivalent to or higher than that of a material for treating halogenated organic compounds, although an environmental load substance such as copper is not contained, and a method of producing iron powder for treating halogenated organic compounds including: immersing the iron powder in one or more kinds of solvents selected from water and organic solvents which have lower vapor pressure than water and contain oxygen; performing solid-liquid separation for the iron powder immersed in the solvent, to thereby obtain the iron powder wet by this solvent; and applying drying treatment to the iron powder wet in the solvent, while keeping a temperature at less than 40 C.

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.

The present disclosure relates to methods of verifying enhanced rock weathering using immobile trace elements found within a mineral amendment. Further disclosed are mineral amendments that enable enhanced rock weathering.

Described are technologies including methods and systems that can be used to produce carbon-neutral and/or carbon-negative renewable gaseous fuel from various organic wastes. In some implementations, such renewable fuel can be used in vehicles that transport the wastes from the waste generators to centralized waste disposal locations and/or manage the wastes at the waste disposal locations.
