Biomass covers are often overlooked as an option for addressing ammonia losses due to poor long-term performance and maintenance. Converting biomasses to biochar and applying it as a cover has the potential to address this issue.

Bioplastics, hydrochar, composted manure and value-added products are some of the uses for dairy manure being developed in Idaho and around the country.

In recent years, biochar has grown in popularity due to its wide applications in agriculture and carbon crediting. As a result, the biochar market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
