There are sites dedicated to ridiculous headlines: headlines like "British Left Waffles on Falklands."

I've heard of at least one copy editor who lost his job because he (for the fun of it) wrote a terrible headline for an article. There's an English-language newspaper in Japan called the Mainichi. They once published an article about a new device meant to speed up processing of people entering the country. The device was made by Kinki Electric. Kinki is a region of Japan also known as Kansai. The headline was Kinki Device Eases Entry.

Strategic Advantages of Biochar in Carbon Removal Initiatives

As global decarbonization efforts intensify, engineered carbon removal pathways are being rigorously evaluated for permanence, scalability, and co-benefits. Among them, biochar—a solid carbonaceous material produced from biomass via thermal decomposition—offers a compelling profile for both environmental durability and economic feasibility. Integrating a pyrolysis plant into a carbon removal strategy facilitates the systematic conversion of organic residues into stable carbon sinks.

High Permanence with Quantifiable Sequestration


Biochar stores atmospheric carbon in a chemically recalcitrant form. Unlike soil organic matter or afforestation, which are prone to microbial decomposition, biochar persists in soil for centuries. Stable aromatic carbon structures resist degradation, with mean residence times often exceeding 500 years depending on feedstock and process parameters.

A properly managed biochar making machine can sequester 2.2–3.0 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of biochar produced. These values are independently verifiable under frameworks such as Puro.earth, Verra, and the European Biochar Certificate, providing clear MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) compliance for carbon credit issuance.

Compatibility with Agricultural and Forestry Residues


Unlike other carbon removal technologies that demand dedicated energy inputs or specialized environments, biochar production can be co-located with existing biomass supply chains. Forestry trimmings, agricultural husks, manure, and mill residues can be thermochemically stabilized on-site with minimal preprocessing.

A modular biochar reactor allows deployment near feedstock sources, reducing logistical emissions. Moreover, process energy can be recovered via syngas combustion, rendering the system energetically self-sufficient and enhancing lifecycle carbon negativity.

Synergistic Co-benefits in Land Use


Biochar’s agronomic properties amplify its value beyond carbon containment. Its porous structure improves soil aeration, water retention, and microbial habitat. Cation exchange capacity enhances nutrient retention, reducing fertilizer runoff and increasing crop resilience during drought cycles.

In degraded soils, particularly in tropical or semi-arid regions, biochar applications of 5–10 tonnes per hectare have demonstrated yield increases of 10–20%. This improves food security outcomes while generating measurable ecosystem service credits.

Thermochemical Efficiency and Emission Control


Modern pyrolysis systems utilize indirect heating with oxygen exclusion, operating between 450–600 °C. These conditions maximize biochar yield while minimizing the production of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Equipped with gas scrubbers and automated process control, a pyrolysis plant ensures clean operation and compliance with industrial emission standards.

Non-condensable gases and bio-oil fractions—byproducts of the pyrolysis reaction—can be reused as on-site fuel or refined into renewable chemicals, increasing project economics without compromising environmental integrity.

Pathway to Carbon Credit Monetization


Biochar carbon removal (BCR) is recognized by growing voluntary carbon markets. Recent transactions have priced high-quality BCR credits in the range of \$100–\$200 per tonne of CO₂e removed, surpassing many other removal approaches in both price and volume.

The pyrolysis plant’s operating data—mass balance, temperature profile, feedstock carbon content—feeds directly into LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) models and carbon accounting systems. When paired with geospatial tracking of biochar application zones, this creates an auditable chain of custody required for third-party certification.

Alignment with Global Policy and Net-Zero Targets


Biochar fits into national and corporate net-zero strategies by offering removals that are both additional and measurable. Countries such as the United States, Canada, and members of the EU are actively funding biochar R\&D and incentivizing deployment through soil health, waste valorization, and climate-smart agriculture programs.

A pyrolysis plant embedded within industrial or municipal systems can serve dual mandates: sustainable waste treatment and carbon drawdown. This dual utility enhances permitting ease and secures broader stakeholder alignment.

In a landscape where carbon integrity, cost-effectiveness, and scalability define viable removal strategies, biochar stands out. By leveraging a pyrolysis plant as the backbone of the operation, carbon removal projects can achieve high permanence, generate co-benefits, and deliver quantifiable results—positioning biochar as a foundational element in long-term climate mitigation portfolios.

From Pyrolysis Oil to Jet Fuel: A Revolutionary Path to Sustainable Aviation

As the aviation industry faces growing pressure to decarbonize, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has emerged as a key solution to reducing lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. While bio-based and synthetic SAF options have received much attention, a less-discussed but highly promising route is now gaining momentum: converting waste tires into jet fuel through continuous pyrolysis.

  1. The Challenge: Greener Skies, Cleaner Sources
    Aviation accounts for about 2–3% of global carbon emissions, and its demand is projected to rise sharply in the coming decades. Traditional fossil-based jet fuel remains the dominant energy source, making decarbonization particularly difficult. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is SAF — fuels that can replace conventional kerosene while offering significant emission reductions across their lifecycle.
  2. What is Continuous Tire Pyrolysis?
    Continuous pyrolysis is an advanced thermochemical process that decomposes materials like end-of-life tires at high temperatures in an oxygen-free environment continuous tyre pyrolysis plant. Unlike batch pyrolysis, the continuous process allows for uninterrupted feedstock input and product output, making it more efficient and scalable for industrial use.

Through this process, tires — which are composed of synthetic rubber, carbon black, steel, and oils — can be broken down into:

Pyrolysis oil (also called tire-derived oil or TDO)

Carbon black (recovered for industrial reuse)

Pyrolytic gas (used to power the system itself)

Scrap steel (recyclable)

  1. From TDO to Jet Fuel
    The key innovation lies in upgrading pyrolysis oil into aviation-grade fuel. This involves several steps:

Hydrotreatment: Removing impurities like sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic compounds to stabilize the oil.

Hydrocracking or isomerization: Breaking down heavy molecules and rearranging them into hydrocarbons with desired properties.

Distillation and blending: Producing a final SAF product that meets international standards (e.g., ASTM D7566).

The result is a drop-in jet fuel with significantly reduced carbon intensity — and derived from a waste product that would otherwise pollute the environment.

  1. Environmental and Economic Advantages
    Carbon reduction: Lifecycle emissions of SAF from tire-derived oil can be up to 80% lower than conventional jet fuel.

Waste valorization: Turns a major pollution source (scrap tires) into a valuable fuel.

Energy self-sufficiency: The pyrolysis process produces its own fuel gas, reducing external energy demand.

Economic potential: With millions of tons of tires discarded globally each year, the feedstock is abundant and cheap.

  1. Conclusion: A Circular Flight Path
    The journey from discarded tires to high-altitude jet engines may seem improbable — but it represents a powerful synergy of waste management, green chemistry, and clean transportation. By transforming tire pyrolysis oil into certified jet fuel, we not only address the growing demand for SAF but also chart a new course in the circular economy.

This is not just a technical breakthrough — it’s a pathway revolution for sustainable aviation.

(A general observation from a jaded social media user, not a sub toot about any recent reports)

It's "interesting" how more likely people will report accounts that are seeking mutual aid if the seeker is not white. With no evidence provided.

Seeking financial support for Pixie BoBo's next dental clean at the vets - ok.

A homeless Black single mother seeking financial support for lifesaving medical care - scammer scammer scammer.

Tip: If mutual aid makes you feel uncomfortable - scroll on (better yet, self reflect). If they do it in a manner that you don't approve of - block/mute/evict them from your enclave of privilege. If you can't be bothered unpacking your racialised bias, try fvcking off

#Palestine / Israeli [Jewish] protester strip-searched after anti-war demonstration near Netanyahu's residence

An Israeli woman protesting outside Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem was arrested and subjected to a full strip search by police. The woman was demonstrating against the war, holding photos of hostages with signs reading "Stop the War" and "Refuse Wars."

Her lawyer Nasser Odeh from the Human Rights Fund called it an illegal search conducted without proper authority, violating her rights and dignity solely for exercising freedom of expression. Legal experts note that strip searches are typically reserved for serious crimes involving suspected hidden weapons or drugs - not routine protest arrests.

Since the war began, Israeli police have dispersed multiple anti-war vigils, including arrests of protesters in Tel Aviv and Haifa. A Tel Aviv court recently ordered the release of protester Amir Haskel, rejecting police restrictions on "illegal" demonstrations.
