The purpose of this legislation is to create a national biochar research network aimed at exploring and promoting the use of biochar in agriculture and land management. Biochar is a type of charcoal produced from organic materials that can improve soil health and help with climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon. Key provisions of the legislation include the establishment of a network of up to 20 research sites across the country. These sites will conduct experiments to assess the effectiveness of different types of biochar in various soil and climate conditions.
