DENR issues guidelines providing livelihood for mining communities
"Lopez said the Biochar Program calls for the wise utilization of
abundant agricultural waste materials into marketable products created
by rural communities for green energy, soil enhancement, mine
revegetation, and a host of environmental products and services, making
it a remarkable climate-change mitigation technology with poverty
alleviation through community enterprise.
Biochar is charred biomass strictly from agricultural waste like rice hull and straw, bagasse, pili
shell, mango seed, coconut husk and shell and corn cobs, which are
produced by high heating with very limited oxygen. Lopez clarified that
cutting of trees to serve as raw materials for biochar is “strictly
prohibited.”
