If that biogas was a practical substitute for petroleum it would still be
widely used. It can't be anywhere near as efficient as refined petroleum,
plus it takes energy to make biogas, which further lowers the throughput
efficiency. It's been around since before WW II and I still don't see any
corporations jumping on it. But biogas production isn't about biochar. We
don't know how much energy it takes to make biochar - and no one can verify
that doing it is better than just putting the organic matter into the soil in
the first place.
