1 . 1 . 1 ( POL Magazine with Biochar Engineering Edward Someus [ Sweden/Hungary ] )

Mr . Someus - Biochar Processing - or the transformation of the carbon composition and productive “ hummus ” of soil through the introduction of organic matter that is de-oxygenated , specially heated at certain temperatures , and then diffused and released into the soil cycle is a rather hopeful discovery in the Western Hemisphere - and of course , Universally . ]

We are residing in an age where the ignorant and apathetic exploitation of the soil resources by industries reflect certain detrimental and non-rational and even self-destructive system of attitudes permeating the cycles of negative gratification embodied in the financial regulatory and reductive pseudo-scientific philosophy governing the human societies , even as growing minorities are universally emerging to fully experience the distinctions and disparities , resolutions and reform of the intrinsical attitudes directed by a mechanising era – moving further and further away from the paradise originally granted them by – let us say – The ‘ Fixed Nature of Things’ ---- .

Agricultural legacy is certainly not something that is modern, but rather , as all natural peoples have realized and expressed, is the very fibre and essence of the tenability of primeval existence which is clearly governed by a number of Natural Laws .

Before we concern ourselves with technicalities , as an articulate and entrepreneurial Professional in your Field , degreed in Natural and Environmental Sciences from the University of Lund , with 2 1 years of your own Entrepreneurial experiences in terms of Industry, what have you appreciated as the Unalterable, Specific, and even one could suppose to say, Divinely Cosmic Laws, that govern this Unique Planetary Firmament ?

What romance is gratified to you, as a Man of Natural Science, in terms of realizing the sheer scale and consistency of the intelligence at work - Providentially - within the very Soil of this planet ?

We are residing in an age where the ignorant and apathetic

exploitation of the soil resources by industries reflect certain

detrimental and non-rational and even self-destructive system of

1 . 1 . 1 ( The European Engineer of the Soil Expressively Reflects . . . )

Nothing is of higher value than to regenerate and maintain Life in any diverse forms and their inherently inter-related symbiotic levels of naturally immunizing functions --- .

In order to reach these aims in a densely human populated – and severely industrialized and dysfunctional Planetary Expression , it is vitally important to go for the sustainable management of the ever increasing gigantic volumes of human activities - generating waste streams in all directions , - otherwise the Life quality and the future of our children will be diminished by early 21st century --- . A debt of the last three hundred years of Industrialization is now morally and socially incumbent upon us . And moving beyond hypocrisy to Action is of Urgent Consequence for all who are in a position to act , including enterprising engineers such as myself .

The past 200 years, and especially the past 60 years, of rapid industrialization and human population increase accelerated massive waste productions - how do we fix this in 7 , 13 , or even 2 1 years ? That is the Question we all have to answer together ! The readers of your journals would have to appropriately answer these questions together for themselves and undertake Local Action, Local Relationships , Local Contingencies ---- . Multiplying locally specific lines and sequences of actions to achieve “ Spontaneous Universalities ” . How else will there be a True Demand for alternatives ? There can be no other way .

Plainly speaking, it is a matter of urgency to develop eco-efficient, economical and environmentally friendly bio-mimetic - or Natural Intelligence Emulating - technologies to convert waste into resources, for which most importantly advanced carbon conversion techniques are needed, which is truly the work I do.

I always turn towards the nature for design of bio-mimetic process inspiration, where the rigorous competition of natural selection through millions of years means waste and low efficiency are not tolerated in natural systems.

The past century of rapid industrial development and increase in human population implied that an ever increasing volume of human activity result in waste generation. In this context I strive to consider „waste” not as a problem, instead of as a natural resource which by high efficient technological solution is optimally converted into useful products. Nothing material and energy is waste, everything is recycled and reused towards zero emission solution, as is done within the context of Nature.

The past 200 years, and especially the past 60 years, of rapid

industrialization and human population increase accelerated

massive waste productions - how do we fix this in 7 , 13 , or even 2 1

years ? That is the Question we all have to answer together ! The

readers of your journals would have to appropriately answer these

questions together for themselves and undertake Local Action, Local

Relationships , Local Contingencies ---- .

The Planet Earth is mostly carbon based – Carbon being the basic element of the Earthly Life.

It is the right time to handle the vital matter and construct for it a right place in the societies and not misuse it as a resource as mankind has mostly thus far done .

1 . 1 . 2 . ( POL Magazine Conjures Up a Second Question . . . )

That is well said , Mr . Someus ! Now to magnify the technicalities so that more might understand it , we presume to express our rough sketch of the Biochar Process, which may or may not be accurate . After all, you are the engineer, and we – staff and readers combined - are the Inquirants !

Pyrolysis is the medium of bio char transformation of the carbon of the soil . From what we understand the effectiveness of this is truly radical in terms of how profoundly transformational and applicable it is .

To provoke an interpretational direction of Biochar being a panacea for soil management : When we consider that this is an entirely Natural basis of transformation of soil health - and one that keeps and stores the innate nutriments of the soil for centuries or even thousands of years ( unlike the anti-retentive and destructive pesticidal, slash and burn , metalloid intrusion, and other practises of the negative harvesting ) — ;

Biochar through Pyrolysis also tends to render the absorption of water effectual, and only 10 % of this carbon composition leads to 80% soil restoration —- even in the case of poor and aggravated soil regions — .

Indeed ! The great Civilizations of the Amazons utilized pyrolysis in providential ways, it has come to be known - a technique the Spanish observed in the 1500’s in the New World .

Yet , what are the Real Logistical Challenges of Implementation if any , considering that even ancient and supposedly less ” industrially equipped ” civilizations of merit restoratively used its properties ? Can we suspect that the real constraints are of a political , mass consciousness oriented/sociologic , and even artificially fiscal impositions ?

Your views on all these , if you will , for the benefit of our intelligent and sensitive readers of wholesome dedication and commitment.

1 . 1 . 2 . ( The Natural Engineer yet again responds with Paucity . . . )

. . . Well ! There is a pervasive error in the understanding concerning biochar , often driven by profit interests or simply insufficient knowledge . Let me outline a few Naturally distinguishing Hierarchies . . .

WRONG VIEW : “ Biochar is a porous standard charcoal (originally made for energetic purpose) ”

CORRECT VIEW : Biochar is plant or animal based special quality carboniferous material, which volatile organic VOC and poliaromatic hydrocarbon PAH residuals are below the environmental limits produced with near or zero emission processing from non food and secondary waste materials .

IMPROBABLE VIEW : “ No need for official and accredited Authority permit to put biochar into open ecological soil environment, with possible interlink to subsurface waters . ”

PROBABILISTIC VIEW : Emphatically, in Jurisdiction Based Western Nations , Authority Permit is needed in all temperate climatic counties (EU, USA, CND, AU, JP). From environmental point of view most offered biochars are low quality and does not qualify for Implementation .

ROSE TINTED AUTOMATISTIC VIEW : “ Since the great Civilizations of the Amazonians used biochar effectually, therefore Biochar can be applied on a Planetary Scale on an Equitabe Basis.”

THREE POINTS OF RECTIFICATIONS :

ONE

Tropical systems can not be applied into temperate climatic zone soils on a One to One Ratio .

TWO

The carbon turn over in the tropical systems are very different than temperate climatic zone soils.

THREE

Original Terra Preta de Indios has not only been char but organic kitchen and household waste, including large amount of burned bones (bone charcoal) to supply Phosphorous to soil.

ROSE TINTED AUTOMATISTIC VIEW : “ Any charcoal makers can make biochar . ”

Very few carbonization technologies can make Authority permitted Quality Biochar. Carbonization is in effect a deceptively simple and traditional technology . However, notably, the traditional carbonization technologies generates more harm than Solvency for the environment. What is the use of generating biochar to protect climate change and CO2 carbon sequestration, when the main obsolete carbonization technology polluting the environment with emissions in the Industries today is actually far higher than sinked carbon? There are serious contradictions and contradistinctions by the Sciences in our Times – and these errors have to be Understood broadly, in a more educated and general manner, and we have to somehow transcend the societal dogmas and general cluelessness about the Soil, the Air, the Water, the Fire substance , and the Wind with True Theory and Sound , Honest , Practical Approaches . We must involve the young and the old alike in a radical awakening process- hopefully in the schools and public places – that mostly do nothing other than regurgitate useless and outdated formulas, instead of empowering the generations with Relevant Learning Now . Those are the public challenges in Consciousness that go beyond technology . We must implement Awareness based QUALITY products , and not reactionistic buzz words that are exploited by mirages and illusions as though Universal Transformations is a Gratification of the most passive kind . Nothing could be further from the Truth As It Is ! Nothing , I tell you !

NOTICE FOR EXAMPLE THIS : I have seen many cases when obsolete carbonization technologies from the 16th - 19th century shown as “modern new innovation” solution for the 21st century biochar. One of the myths is that any feed materials can be used for biochar . In many cases (because of commercial exploitation reasons ) primary materials used for biochar,result in :

[ 1 ] Deforestation [ 2 ] Direct or indirect use of agricultural land with increase of food prices [ 3 ] Environmental impacts.

Those are commercialistic exploitations, Intentionally in a wicked disregard and disdain , or with Honest Ignorance that have been brought about in Consequence to the Age of Machines and as Charlie Chaplin said in the movie Great Dictator , “ Machine Men . . . with Machine Minds . . . ” . Human nature and the problems produced by it , are also the Reversal Solutions here .

Technically, it is important, that ONLY non food and non-primer feeds should be used, truly classified and truly originating as waste of non useful byproducts intrinsical to the human factors and industrial factors at large .

Mr . Someus : Recently, Hungary underwent a massive and fatal metal pollution of the soil, when a metallurgic plant either exploded or underwent a catastrophic blowout causing a great spill of liquiefied metals to be introduced into the soils . The soil quite literally turned very very red, and caused tremendous afflictions , in terms of diseases and difficulties . How did that event influence the Natural Soil Equilibrium, from a professional analyses view point ? In exact way, step by step , what did Nature have to do to absorb this counter-natural blow to its systemic and sympathetic tendencies ? Could you present to our readers a scene by scene autopsy of that natural catastrophe from the point of view of the Natural Sciences ?

Proportions , only conciliations upon profit was counted in their pockets in great philandering insensitivity .

Nevertheless, owing to the Fixed Nature of Universal and Natural Laws, Natural Soil Equilibrium is always restored in one or other way, when the Nature goes on its own way in regards to its gracious and extensive thresholds of Tolerance . The only problem is the Time and the Quality of how Action distils restorations within the contexts of Time : 100 years is one second from the Nature perspective point of view, and Humans have never the Time to spare for things of Value and Intrinsical Virtues , as they parade and squander it on cheap thrills and the ignorant fetters and nonsenses . The Civil Will has to awaken from its mass stupor to actually resolve things that Nature command us to resolve Now !

How radically transformational can Bio-Char become once it is a wholly fructified industry of scale ? By scale we mean ( both ) as - let’s say - a functioning , ubiquitious apparatus that can both create applications the size of a small refrigerator for a community garden area, or of large landmasses through other kinds of engineering installations .

Can bio-char consummate a total restoration of the habitats of the polluted systems of Hungary’s disaster ?

Can Chinese agricultural carnage be revised and restored along the banks of the mega-polluted Yang Tse River ? Can the South American Tropicals, or the rare historic , slow growing , forests of Madagascar be transformed by Bio Char ? And can bio-char create new soil cycles in desert areas, if enough Prolysistic Soil Treatment is conditioned upon desertified or desert areas ?

Biochar (the true type of biochar, which is a complex issue) is a revolutionary product, which is providing solutions and curing many soil and Earth problems.
