Energy Balance and Emissions Associated with Biochar Sequestration and Pyrolysis Bioenergy ProductionBiochar - Journal ArticleAuthor: John Gaunt, and Johannes Lehmann Description: The implications for greenhouse gas emissions of optimizing a slow pyrolysis-based bioenergy system for biochar and energy production rather than solely for energy production were assessed. Scenarios for feedstock production were examined using a life-cycle approach. We considered both purpose grown bioenergy crops (BEC) and the use of crop wastes (CW) as feedstocks. The BEC scenarios consider switching from production of winter wheat to miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), or forage corn (Zea mays L.), while the CW scenarios consider both corn stover and winter wheat straw as feedstocks.
