My issue is with biochar is that you need to burn fuel, to create the next fuel. This process when creating fertilizer makes some sense but when talking about using it for fuel makes it sound a bit bass-ackwards to me. My same confusion stands for the CO2 turbine; how much energy does it take to heat and compress the gas so that it can then create the power?
