कार्बन सीक्वेशट्रेशन (पृथक्‍करण) प्रक्रिया   Carbon capture and storage (CCS) (or carbon capture and sequestration) is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation. The aim is to prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere. It is a potential means of mitigating the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification. Although CO2 has been injected into geological formations for several decades for various purposes, including enhanced oil recovery. Capturing and compressing CO2 may increase the...

बायोचर - कृषि के लिए नया काला सोना Agricultural waste is usually handled as a liability, often because the means to transform it into an asset is lacking. These residues are either partially utilized or un-utilized due to various constraints. Among the cereal residues, rice and wheat straws are the dominant and the easiest way to clear the field is burning these in the field itself. By realizing those problems, some previous researchers try to use the more resistant organic matter such as biochar. Biochar has great importance in improving soil fertility and it could act as a soil amendment to increase crop yield and plant growth by supplying and retaining nutrients than other...

बायोचर - कृषि का भविष्य The amount of carbon in the soil is a direct indication of good quality of soil. Higher carbon stocks have a direct correlation with increased agricultural yields through improved soil health. In the current scenario of climate change and global warming, much of carbon in atmosphere has to be sequestrated into soil carbon pool so that increasing CO2 in the atmosphere and resulting warming could be reduced. The use of biochar can be a simple yet powerful tool to combat climate change by sequestering much of atmospheric carbon into soil as well as providing an opportunity for the processing of agricultural and other waste into useful clean energy. What is...
