Avoided CO2 emissions from not burning fossil fuel in the process are added to the wins above.
Future APL machines will introduce features that enable increased biochar yield of up to 15-20% of input mass, while still co-generating electricity.

This makes the 1/4th-cost-of-diesel and 1/2-the-capital-of-solar sound even better.
