The Japanese knotweed removal industry generates thousands of tonnes of plant waste every year which is consigned to landfill sites where it either regrows or decays, giving off harmful gases such as methane. The charcoal is made into biochar simply by adding a liquid fertiliser, improving soil structure, health and fertility.

The creation of biochar, a charcoal used as a soil amendment, from Japanese knotweed plant waste is a carbon negative process which harnesses the carbon-scavenging power of Japanese knotweed in a positive way and contributes to the fight against climate change by locking carbon away for thousands of years.

In a year-long trial project that began in February, Carbogenics will put these “screenings” through the high-temperature low-oxygen process of pyrolysis, to produce a patent-pending biochar. Untreated screenings are also a source of methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

US-based agtech startup Fyto has raised $15 million in Series A funding for its specialized aquatic “superplants” that can be used for animal feed, food and soil health ingredients. The patented hardware-software system grows lemna , a type of duckweed, using cow manure as a feedstock. Making use of waste streams.

The use of these chemicals also damages the environment in other ways; much of the fertilizer used in the world today is the product of methane gas, a fossil fuel, while the wide-scale use of pesticides has been linked to the damage of ecosystems and vital populations of pollinators.

It is important to note that while natural gas carries a lower carbon dioxide footprint when compared to coal, it also results in methane leaks up and down the supply chain. Methane arguably wipes out the perceived benefit of gas over coal. Which is, of course, patently false.”.
