Because Myno’s process for producing biochar and carbon-negative energy from wood waste and forest-thinning slash piles will help our state reduce the risk of wildfires on our public lands. The remaining feedstock carbon will be sequestered as 40,000 tons of biochar each year. Wildfire risk will be significantly reduced.
