🌱 Our SECOND field trial of the #EcoFutureUT project is now established at #Weiherhof! Next up: our third and final trial at #Kleinhohenheim. Together, these trials will show how #EcoFuture_KAP4 performs across different soils and farming practices.

🌱 The first #EcoFuture field trial has been established at #Kastanienhof! We are testing #EcoFuture_KAP4, a multi-component biostimulating fertilizer combining fermentation substrate, long grass, biochar and endophytic fungi. Next: trials at two additional farms.

Google Research Launches 2026 Grant Program Targeting Breakthroughs in High-Moisture Feedstock Pyrolysis to Expand Global Biochar Capacity
Google Research initiated its 2026 R&D Awards, allocating up to $450,000 to advance biochar production from underutilized, high-moisture biomass. The initiative targets preprocessing and pyrolysis breakthroughs to overcome technical processing constraints, expand global organic feedstock sourcing, and ensure verifiable long-term carbon permanence.

Co-Applying Biochar with Urea Cuts Total Paddy Nitrogen Loss to 33 Percent and Boosts Rice Grain Yield to 11,823 Kilograms Per Hectare
A recent study in Scientific Reports by Saowalak Somboon and colleagues shows that co-applying rice straw-derived biochar with urea reduces total paddy nitrogen loss to 33 percent of inputs, while achieving a peak grain yield of 11,823 kilograms per hectare in continuously flooded rice fields.

And EcoFuture @unituebingen.bsky.social is on board - how great 😀. Sequestering CO2 in biochar has potential positive feedbacks on futher C binding in soils. This technique remains a win-win: for our climate and for farmers and sustainable food production. Thanks for selecting us amongst the 99 💪.

♻️ At #Kastanienhof, tree prunings are transformed into biochar. The heat from pyrolysis is reused for biomass drying and greenhouse heating, while the biochar becomes part of our biostimulating fertilizer #EcoFuture and returns to the field to improve soil health and store carbon.

Ha - this is pretty similar to EcoFuture's motivation: fruit production in 🇩🇪 produces pruning material and old, long grass - both ideal substrates for long-term #carbon sequestration ( #CDR ). Amended with a nutrient source, we follow the same approach returning pyrolyzed organic matter to soils 😀.
