Biochar stoves could let you sequester carbon while you cook. A new generation of small, barbecue-style stoves has the possibility to sequester carbon while you cook with the added advantage of producing fertilizer for your garden in the process.
Stoves convert biomass into charcoal, which can be a carbon store. At the moment there is no mass-market consumer model. So far there are two basic types of cooking stoves that produce biochar: 1.‘Top-Lit Updraft Gasifier’, which works by placing biomass in a cylinder and air is fed from underneath. 2.‘Anila-type stove,’ which consists of two concentric cylinders. The outer cylinder is covered, while the inner one is open.
