Harnessing Biochar, Biofuels, and Solar Cells

Abstract

Emerging technologies that have been applied to reduce climate change and support ecological balance include solar cells, biochar, and biofuels. Biochar is a vital tool for sustainable agriculture since it improves soil fertility, sequesters carbon, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. When compared to fossil fuels, biofuels, which come from renewable sources (algae and agricultural waste), have lower carbon emissions. The availability of feedstock and competition over land use are still present. Sunlight is converted into electricity by solar cells, a crucial component of the renewable energy infrastructure; nevertheless, installation and manufacturing processes for solar cells must be ecologically benign. By combining these technologies, we can reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, promote sustainable growth, and provide all-encompassing solutions for environmental problems.
