- biomass waste->
- Pyrolysis->
- Biochar, for permanent Carbon removal/Inertinite eg. Flame Cap 'Algorithm' Panel kiln (optional heat (biomass drying) + electricity for exxy but awesome kilns eg. ECHO2) ->
- AWH (intermittent (day/night)/continuous (awesome), unpowered (solar thermal eg. Biochar hydrogel paint)/ powered (solar PV for a machine or fans)) or desalination (RO, CDI, solar; graphene
membrane (?2 stages) for RO + activated Biochar/Carbon for pathogens and contaminants) or groundwater or rainfall or river water

Soil-based growing systems
1. Regenerative Agroforestry System (RAS), using swales, Zai pits or Swale-Zai pit hybrids, with optional 'Measured Irrigation' tech (https://www.measuredirrigation.com/)
->(back to top)
Soil-free (but not water-based) growing systems
1. CompoChar
2. Hemp bioplastic 90L fabric pots with inoculated biochar: manure 1:1 for eg.dwarf fruit trees
3. Permachar Wicking Pots, with inoculated biochar: manure 1:1 for eg. herbs
Water-based growing systems
1. Microalgae (freshwater: AWH, desalination of seawater, desalination of groundwater; saline water: seawater, brackish groundwater): (monitoring, motorised paddle, semi-transparent Perovskite PV
lid, Carbon-based SSB, scaleable raceway ponds)
->fish food (or human consumption)->Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) (https://a-culture.com.au/)->fish (freshwater/saline)
->fish poo
->water plants
eg1. for freshwater: taro, mint, arrowroot, yams, chestnuts, cress etc.
eg2. for saline water: seaweed, for human consumption or Asparagopsis, for cows to decrease methane emissions from burps and farts
Maybe NaCl (salt) could be used instead of LiCl
