Systems and methods for biochar-based soil carbon sequestration

Abstract

In one embodiment is a carbon sequestration system that includes a crop residue pickup configured to ingest crop residue disposed on a field; a pyrolyzer configured to receive the crop residue output from the crop residue pickup and process the crop residue into biochar; a biochar/water or slurry mixing system configured to receive the biochar output from the pyrolyzer and quench the biochar in water and/or slurry; a soil injection system configured to receive the quenched biochar from the biochar/water or slurry mixing system and inject the quenched biochar into the field; and one or more sensors configured to detect one or more operations states of the crop residue pickup, the pyrolyzer, the biochar/water or slurry mixing system, and/or the soil injection system.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
