Hi Peter. This is my first time reading your Letter. I also do not tweet! Never the less here I am subscribing. I am interested because I am involved in an upcoming at-scale biochar project and the revenue models you cited are very similar to the options we are weighing. Thank you for your insight. Now I see I have a lot of catch-up reading to do here! Thanks again

Thanks Wanye! Appreciate you following along here, and onward! Good luck with your project - where is it located? Always happy to chat, so don't hesitate to reach out. Until then, take care.

I just found your blog Peter, and I'm glad I did.

Recently, kinda by accident, I found out about biochar and am still in the process of getting my head wrapped around things. Very interesting stuff. Consequently, I designed and made my own retort, but I'm still working a couple of kinks out (I'm using a 55 gal. drum for the retort, and it's just a shade too tight for the kiln). Hopefully, I'll see how it works in a couple of days.

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to your next post. This carbon offset thing is something I hadn't considered, but am certainly intrigued by. Thanks.

Thanks for writing, and welcome to the community. Good luck with your retort - tricky stuff (at least for me). Check out the Biochar Google Group, Youtube, and Reddit for good DIY communities, and pyrolyzer tech. And definitely think about the carbon side, it's worth getting your head around. Take care, and good luck!

Hi Peter,

I noticed you are at Un-Do?

Are you still interested in BioChar and Forestry BioMass?

We are working in Utah on some very large scale models....you may have seen Kathleens post?

Peyer, I know I'm a little late to the party but if your offer to Wayne still stands I would really appreciate a brief (or not so brief) chat about all aspects of this article. Thanks Dominic

I'm not real computer savvy so I guess I'll check back here for response.
