Update

In the past year, I have been able to contact some of the scientists and professors who are working on this problem, and I have found that there is a very large and active community that is actively doing research and promoting biochar, both as a soil improvement, and as a means of storing carbon. There is even an organization called the International Biochar Initiative. One professor that I spoke to was even working with the UN panel on climate change. These people have a lot of influence, so I absolutely wish for them to succeed at making large scale use of biochar a reality.
