Terra Preta \u2013 a particularly fertile black soil from the Amazon region \u2013 was used around 500 years ago and scientifically investigated in the 19th century. Biochar is considered a key component, promoting soil structure, water retention, and carbon sequestration. Production has been underway in Kranichstein since 2021. The Darmstadt carbonization plant was built next to the existing composting facility in Kranichstein. Planning began in 2019, and the Darmstadt Municipal Services and Enterprise (EAD) commissioned the plant in 2021. Since then, biochar has been produced there and used, among other things, in urban green spaces such as the Lincoln Estate and the Vivarium Darmstadt Zoo. In 2024, the development of the so-called Darmstadt soil project began. According to the city, the project aims to close biomass cycles and prepare the municipality for climate change. Practical tips ranging from tiled stoves to industrial plants: The book was published by the Kraichgau Local History Society in cooperation with the ProCarbo Association. Authors are Reiner Dick and Susanne Kaiser-Asoronye. The work is aimed at those interested in combining soil regeneration, climate protection, and the circular economy. It describes methods of producing biochar \u2013 from tiled stoves to industrial plants \u2013 and provides practical application advice. The book is available, among other places, at the Darmstadt composting facility and in the Vivarium zoo shop for \u20ac16. (DARMSTADT \u2013 RED\/PSD\/dk)"}
