#112 How to help the climate with plant based coal
|In Countries
|By Frederic Michaud
Leave rotten wood in the forest while it emits methane and contributes to global warming? Or shall we do something about it? This is the idea of Bruno Kipf from Brenzikofen, Switzerland: he has developed a stove to produce plant based coal in aa special process. This plant based coal is reducing lots of methan emissions (which is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2) and at the same time plant based coal can be used as fertilizer. So most of the methane and CO2 of the wood never goes into the athomsphere.
