Biochar is charcoal made from plant-based organic matter converted through pyrolysis (burning) in a low, to no, oxygen kiln. The process converts the material into a fixed carbon form with a porous structure useful for storing nutrients, microbes, and water to create a productive soil environment for plants while sequestering carbon in a stable state. Biochar nourishes soils, protects water quality, gives value to biomass waste, produces clean energy, and can sequester carbon for thousands of years.

What Can Biochar Systems Do?

• Fight the climate crisis

• Produce an enhancer for soil fertility to support soil tilth, including moisture content, aeration, microbes, rate of drainage and infiltration.

• Sequester carbon from bio-waste 

• Create clean, renewable energy

How to Use Biochar: 

1. Fertilizer 

2. Peet substitute for potted plants 

3. Compost additive - mix it into your compost pile

4. Odor reduction - animal bedding, manure 

5. And more
