I produce char cheap and easy with clean burning teepee shaped burn pile then quenching w water, 90 minutes a few X per yr, brush piles 10 ft high from my small lot I get couple wheelbarrows of char each time.
That machine only makes the charcoal. It is not biochar. You have to activate the charcoal with minerals, beneficial bacteria, and water first. THEN it is biochar. As little at 10% biochar has a big impact on plant growth and water reduction. But 50% hampers many plants.
Thats why terra preta has a large pottery sherd component. It seems to add more char power without more char downsides also i am convinced it didtributes and lifts moisture. I think 3 foot deep base like terra preta as found, is not going to lift moisture to the surface without the pottery.
I what to know more about use of char and other products from pyrolysis

What a shame that the world governments will not get behind this. Instead they want the tax money. More for them, less for you. Time for people to walk away from governments.
I am not someone who believes in man made global warming, however i think we need to do things that are environmentally friendly. This process just makes alot of sense
Have they made any progress? I see very few new videos talking about progress. Have seen some older University test saying Biochar does not increase the yields of crops. But I guess it would take carbon dioxide out of the air. Which is the main goal!
why would you want to take carbon dioxide out of the air? it's what plants need to breathe. there's barely any co2 as it is, only 0.4% of the atmosphere is co2. we need more carbon dioxide in the air, not less.
Geoff Lawton said charcoal is still oily and biochar burned off the oils and it doesn't stain the hands very much. I presume biochar has the cell like structures cleaned out and ready to accept the nutrients and beneficial bacteria we should put in it. I don't know about the activation. Hope it helps.

Sheep believe in global warming and terrorism.

I fully agree. I appreciate biochar to grow more nutrient dense food. I do vermicomposting. I think that's also a great thing.

Biochar alone will not do much as it's just an empty vessel. You have to "activate" it with microbial life by combining with a high quality compost.

One question: What are differences between char, biochar, activated biochar, and activated carbon?

None...
