"This conference focuses on better understanding the processes and impacts associated with radiation management. This includes processes specific to individual methods, the projected climate response and its uncertainties, and the impacts, including those in the developing world, as well as the engineering aspects and the design of research to address risk."

"Land is already under growing human pressure and climate change is adding to these pressures. At the same time, keeping global warming to well below 2ºC can be achieved only by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors including land and food, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its latest report on Thursday."

"In the effort to keep the planet from reaching dangerous temperatures, a hybrid approach called BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) has a seductive appeal. Crops suck carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, power plants burn the biomass to generate electricity, and the emissions are captured in a smokestack and pumped underground for long-term storage."

Wu, Z.; Song, Y.; Shen, H.; Jiang, X.; Li, B.; Xiong, Z. (2019): Biochar can mitigate methane emissions by improving methanotrophs for prolonged period in fertilized paddy soils. In: Environmental Pollution 253, S. 1038–1046. DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.07.073.

"Biochar application to fertilized paddy soils has been recommended as an effective countermeasure to mitigate methane (CH₄) emissions, but its mechanism and effective duration has not yet been adequately elucidated. A laboratory incubation experiment was performed to gain insight into the combined effects of fresh and six-year aged biochar on potential methane oxidation (PMO) in paddy soils with ammonium or nitrate-amendment."
