Suppose that throughout the area of Africa which gets 14 or more inches of rain a year, giant grasses are grown and harvested annually. These grasses dry quickly and can be made into biochar. The pyrolisis system produces syngas which would be used in cooking rather than the charcoal. Charcoal when fired, is very pollution and create huge health hazards. Syngas is almost non-polluting.

The biochar is enriched with a slurry of animal waste, including human, and worked into the ground as an amendment. The bacteria grow on the nutrients, which allow the other soil critters to exist, thus creating nutrient for food and fodder plants, and even the giant grasses. The whole economy of this belt would greatly increase as would the health.

Is anybody listening? Does anybody give as damn?
