Simple and low-cost flame curtain (“Kon-Tiki”) kilns are currently the preferred biochar technology for smallholder farmers in the tropics. While gas and aerosol emissions have been documented for woody feedstocks (twigs and leaves) with varying moisture contents, there is a lack of data on emissions from other types of feedstocks. This study aims to document the gas and aerosol emissions for common non-woody feedstocks and to compare emissions from finely grained, high-lignin feedstock (coffee husk) with those from coarser, low-lignin feedstocks (maize cobs, grass, sesame stems). Throughout each pyrolysis cycle, all carbon-containing gases and NOx were monitored using hand-held sensitive instruments equipped with internal pumps. Carbon balances were used to establish emission factors in grams per kilogram of biochar. The resulting methane emissions were nearly zero (
