The article presents an interview with Dieter Lohr, a researcher with extensive experience in biochar talking about specific experiments and sharing the overall assessment of the material. Topics include biochar's porous structure and high surface area offering benefits in water and nutrient management which being essential to account for the biological activation process to avoid nutrient immobilization; and determining optimal production methods and feedstock selection.

The article introduces Germany, Hesse's inaugural "climate roof" project by urban housing service provider gewobau, featuring the incorporation of activated biochar to demonstrate improved roof greening, resilient plant growth, and the active removal and long-term storage of CO2 from the atmosphere.
