BIOCHAR

This black gold is the path to carbon sequestration and improved agricultural practises.

Biochar is charcoal that is produced by pyrolysis or gasification of biomass; it is used as a soil ameliorant for both carbon sequestration and soil health benefits. Biochar is a stable solid that is rich in carbon and can endure in soil for thousands of years.

​

Biochar is the most scalable current solution for carbon sequestration, and it is a means to mitigate global warming and climate change.

​

Biochar increases the soil fertility of acidic soils, increases agricultural productivity, improves water absorption and retention of the soil, and provides protection against some foliar and soil-borne diseases.
