Biochar is cool and all, but it's still not as good as preserving the wood completely intact. The article you cited itself says "it is predicted that at least 50% of the carbon in any piece of waste turned into biochar becomes stable," which is quite a bit less than 100%.

I suppose it's good for the twigs and other leftovers that aren't even good enough to be made into OSB or MDF panels.
