Biochar from cookstoves reduces greenhouse gas emissions from smallholder farms in Africa by Sundberg, C., Karltun, E., Gitau, J.K., Kätterer, T., Kimutai, G., Mahmoud, Y., Njenga, M., Nyberg, G., Nowina, K.R. de, Roobroeck, D., Sieber, P.

“…Cookstoves provided benefits through reduced smoke, fuel wood savings and char production, but challenges were found related to labour for fuel preparation, lighting and refilling. On-farm trials with varying rates of biochar inputs, in combination with and without mineral fertilizers, have led to a sustained increase of maize yields following one-time application. …”
