Can the Use of Biochar in Green Infrastructure and Green Landscaping Slow Climate Change and Reduce the Damage of Downstream Flood Mud

 Michael Shafer

ABSTRACT
As climate change accelerates, our response must evolve beyond flashy technologies and carbon markets. A quieter revolution is underway, one rooted in soil, storm drains, and biochar. Biochar, a carbon-negative material with powerful filtration properties, is emerging as a cornerstone of sustainable urban infrastructure. When paired with green landscaping and stormwater management, it offers a pragmatic, scalable, and affordable way to mitigate climate impacts while cleaning up our cities.
