What happened
A forest-thinning project was initiated in Park City, Utah, in Thaynes Canyon. Instead of burning the resulting wood and brush debris, a Utah company is converting the material into biochar. This carbon-rich material is created by heating organic matter in a specialized kiln, which stores carbon rather than releasing it into the atmosphere.

Why it matters
The project aims to make traditional forest management practices more efficient, cleaner, and safer. By capturing carbon in biochar, the process offers an alternative to traditional pile burning and could create a new local resource stream for the city.
