Barns produce a lot of carbon emissions, which harms the environment. This study aims to find out whether biochar may lower the CO&#x2082; and CH&#x2082; emissions from sewage and digestion slurry, two types of wastewater. A portable gas analyzer and stable chamber method were used to determine the pollution during 21 days.&nbsp;Results show that compared to unprocessed substrates, adding biochar in a 2:1 ratio significantly reduces emissions of CO2 and CH4. The high pollution levels of slurry highlight the need for immediate action to reduce these levels. Sewage emissions of CO2 and CH4 are reduced by 39% and 41%, respectively, when biochar is included. The digestate is the most essential component as it reduces the production of CO2 by 58% and CH4 by 92%. Despite manure displaying reducing emission tendencies, adding biochar still results in substantial reductions, with carbon dioxide (CO2) releases dropping by 52% and CH4 emissions falling by 88%, respectively.&nbsp;Biochar application reduces digestate's Global Warming Capability by 67%, slurry's by 29%, and manure's by 57%, mitigating environmental consequences across all treatments.&nbsp;</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><kwd>Biochar</kwd><kwd> Greenhouse gas emissions</kwd><kwd> Animal waste</kwd><kwd> Digestate</kwd><kwd> Slurry</kwd><kwd> Methane</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><sec sec-type="data-availability"><title>Data Availability</title><p>Not applicable</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>All authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></sec><sec sec-type="author-contributions"><title>Authors&#x2019; Contributions</title><p>The author confirms sole responsibility for the following: study conception and design, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results, and manuscript preparation.</p></sec><sec sec-type="funding-statement"><title>Funding Statement</title><p>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</p></sec><sec sec-type="software-information"><title>software-information</title><p>Not applicable</p></sec><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>I thank the following individuals for their expertise and assistance in all aspects of our study and for their help in writing the manuscript.
