A soil amendment is provided and a method for making the same, where the soil amendment is encasing biochar in a biodegradable material. The biochar encased in the biodegradable material may be either or both treated and untreated (raw) biochar. The biodegradable material encasing the biochar may be sealed to produce a packet or capsule, or deposited on a sheet of biodegradable material. The sheet of biodegradable material may include a biodegradable adhesive, creating a biochar tape on the biodegradable material. In another example the biodegradable material may be immersed in a solution containing biochar to create a soil amendment, for example, to wrap a root ball of a seedling or sapling. The biodegradable material may, for example, be a polymer, wax, oil, or paraffin which is used to create a bead, capsule, or pod of biochar or biochar slurry, or may be a fiber based or polymer based material that can be formed into a shape, such as a liner, container, or a disc.

A method is provided for producing a biochar solution. The method comprises the steps of collecting biochar particles, dispersing the biochar particles in a liquid solution and adding a stabilizing agent to keep the biochar in flowable suspension. The stabilizing agent may be added to the liquid solution or to the biochar prior to placing the biochar in solution.

A system for processing solid waste including a segmented gasifier having a first segment detachably connected to a second segment, and a burner positioned downstream of the segmented gasifier and coupled to the segmented gasifier. A process for treating solid waste including introducing the solid waste into a first end of a segmented gasifier having a first segment detachably connected to a second segment. Gasifying the solid waste as it traverses from the first end of the gasifier to a second end of the segmented gasifier, and producing a gaseous output and a solid output at the second end of the segmented gasifier. Separating the gaseous output and the solid output, and introducing a portion of the gaseous output to a burner and recycling a portion of the gaseous output to the segmented gasifier as an energy source.
