GHG Emissions
US EPA, 2024
Contribution of GHGs
N2O
Act as sinks and sources of greenhouse gases. CO2 CH4
2. Methane (CH4)
Sources: Wetlands, rice paddy field, livestock manure, and organic waste
decomposition.
GWP is more as compared to CO2.
3. Denitrification processes.
Release of N2O, N2 and NO gases in the atmosphere

Schematic illustration representing the relationships between biochar and
GHGs emissions during composting
1. Carbon sequestration
• Stability of Biochar in soils.
• Long term storage of carbon and its
implications for climate change mitigation.
• Biocharhas the ability to sequester carbon in the soil for long periods
and storing it in a stable form.
1
• Biochar
during pig manure composting reduced CO2 emissions by
26.1% (Wang et al., 2018)
2
• Effect
of biochar on CO2 emissions can be explained by biochar
increasing the sequestration of exogenous organic matter when
3 applied during composting to reduce CO2 emissions (Liu et al., 2017)
Biochar’s role in reducing Methane Emissions
Microbial Colonization
Inorganic N utilized by nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.
N2O Reduction
pH alters in soil
Rondon et al., (2006) first reported the decrease in the emission of N2 O after biochar amendment.
2
The surface of biochar can absorb N2 O and reduce it to N (Harter et al., 2016)

Biochar’s role in reducing Ammonia Gas Emissions
They analyzed the effects of rice straw biochar (RSBC) and swine manure biochar (SMBC)
on N2O emission from paddy soil. The biochars were added to soil at the rates of 1% and
5% .
Yang et al., 2020
Case Study – 1 continue..
Cumulative emission of soil N2O during 2 h-30 days of the incubation at rice growth stage.
Different lowercase letters within a column indicate significant differences at P<0.05
RESULTS :-
SMBC Biochar mitigated N2O
emission from paddy soil by
increasing soil pH, decreasing
nitrate reductase and NH4 + content
Case Study - 2
Treatrments:-
1. Control (ck),
2. Soil+Biochar (B),
3. Soil+Urea N, (N)
4. Soil+urea N+biochar (BN)
RESULTS :-
N2O emissions from paddy soils can be substantially reduced via biochar
application, due to reduction of soil NH4 and NO3 concentration.
Biochar addition did not enhance soil C cycling in both paddy soils.
Case Study - 3
Emission of CH4 , CO2 in T-6 is less. Emission of NH3 , N2O in T-6 is less.
TREATMENTS
CON (soil without biochar)
Swine manure (CHAR-M)
Barley stover (CHAR-B)
Gayoung Yoo and Hojeong Kang 2012
Case Study – 5 continue..
RESULTS :- There was a decrease in N2O emissions from the PASTURE soil with the addition of CHAR-B.
For RICE PADDY soil N2O emission was enhanced by the addition of CHAR-M due to higher avaliabilty of
N.
