The conversion of poultry manure into biochar would presumably only make sense in situations where the manure is deposited over a very small area – ie. in intensive poultry units, rather than in free range systems - raising questions for many about the ethical implications of predicating a carbon mitigation technology on livestock systems that are problematic, from a welfare perspective.
