What a great thing he is doing thank you Steve

[@universeslap]

Ingenious and very important work. Let's bring more people to the vision of the healthy future, not toxic dystopian nightmare.

[@SandhillGenetics]

Is there a way to donate to help better Steve's cause?

The key here is that bioenergy from residual biomass is a decarbonization solution while bioenergy from whole trees is not a decarbonization solution.

[@markus_selloi]

It still depends on the situation. In most cases you are right though

[@markus_selloi]

It would definitely be the solution for palm oil problems.

[@magic-eric7328]

@@markus_selloi Agroforestry is the solution the the palm oil deforestation problem.

Very good for the youth to be encouraged to stay in their country and be a mentor and run your own business ❤

Great job, but this is just charcoal, not biochar. Biochar denotes adding in a micro-biome of beneficial fungi and bacteria, to be added into soil to aid in the proliferation of life. This is due to the surface area of charcoal, making it suitable as a ‘micro hotel’ for these organisms. What Steve is doing is the first step, and what I described could be done as well, and then grow more trees that can be coppiced for making charcoal for cooking and biochar, then the cycle repeats.
