A new report "Biochar: A critical review of science and policy" can be
downloaded from www.biofuelwatch.org.uk/biocharsciencereport.php .  The
Executive Summary or the individual chapters can also be downloaded from
that webpage.

This report is a substantially expanded update of our 2009 “Biochar for
Climate Mitigation: Fact or Fiction”. It takes a critical look at the claims
around biochar, reviews the science underlying the claims, provides an
overview of what biochar advocates are pushing for in terms of policies and
supports (as well as looking at key developments related to soil carbon
offsets internationally and in different countries and regions), and
presents an outline of the companies involved. It is an interim report, with
the final version due to be published during the UN climate conference in
Durban.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested.  Thanks.

Best regards,
