Hi John S. This is behind a Google login wall. Can you give a few excerpts?

It's a comparison of the markets for different kinds of biochar: Wood, manure, crop residue, compost, and mixed feedstock. It shows the differences between them.  I couldn't figure out how to transfer the information from facebook. Sorry,

One thing I've noticed at big box stores is the better quality grow mixes loudly declare a percentage of biochar in the mix.

I don't buy this stuff, but I like how it normalizes and promotes biochar as a premium soil additive. It's like a kind of brand recognition in the public mind, regardless of the company selling it.
