Thermal management
Waste heat and cooling: start with temperature and timing
A useful heat source and a useful heat sink must fit each other.
Ideas & perspectives
A practical view of emerging technology.
Public research, application questions and commercial considerations across carbon, energy and materials.
Process technology
Biomass-to-fuels: look beyond the reactor
A conversion step is part of a fuel pathway, not the whole pathway.
Circular resources
Residual biomass: choose the right route before diverting it
Pyrolysis belongs in a wider resource-management strategy.
Carbon removal
Biochar and carbon removal: the evidence chain
Making char, storing carbon and issuing a verified removal are distinct steps.
Advanced carbon
Biocarbon, graphite and graphene: use the names carefully
Carbon content alone does not establish structure, quality or application performance.
Materials
Beyond soil: biocarbon as a functional material
From polymer fillers to durable products, application requirements should lead development.
Built environment
Biocarbon in concrete: performance before promises
Carbon storage and a concrete specification are two different requirements. A useful additive must address both.
Agriculture
Biochar in agriculture: start with the soil
The right question is where a particular biochar can solve a particular soil problem.
