Welcome to my renewable energy sources blog

I am welcoming you to my renewable blog for one simple reason that you are somebody who is looking for clean and inexpensive energy to save you money and also help save the environment for our sons and daughters. Anyone who strives for this new and efficient sources of energy must be commended for it and I commend you for all the efforts you are making to get access to this new and efficient form of energy. On this blog, we'll attempt to post articles and resources about renewable energy that eventually will come to replace the old form of energy we are too accustom to.

Agrichar - Soil Productivity Magic Bullet?

The huge potential of agricultural soils to reduce greenhouse gases and increase production at the same time has been reinforced by new research findings at NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (DPI) Wollongbar Agricultural Institute.

Trials of agrichar - a product hailed as a saviour of Australia’s carbon-depleted soils and the environment - have doubled and, in one case, tripled crop growth when applied at the rate of 10 tonnes per hectare.

Agrichar is a black carbon byproduct of a process called pyrolysis, which involves heating green waste or other biomass without oxygen to generate renewable energy.
