Biochar production is a sustainable solution
Join us as we build a sustainability movement to mitigate our world of wasted carbon and nutrients

What does it mean to transform nuisance to nourishment?
The benefits of biochar date back to indigenous times when tribes used it create artificial soil (or, terra preta) in the Amazon Basin; a process later displaced by industrially produced synthetic fertilizers. While the basic principles of making biochar haven’t changed over the centuries, the methods certainly have.
What is biochar and why is it important?
Biochar is a highly porous charcoal made from biological material (known as biomass) that is high in organic carbon. It is the most economical and environmentally safe process for thorough and final treatment of biosolid wastes, converting it into valuable resources that support sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly innovation.
As a key element to a carbon-negative strategy, biochar serves as the best possible fertilizer and can be a powerful agent in contaminated soil remediation and odor management.

Biochar is Better
Biochar extracts and retains the critical nutrients of energy, emissions, and waste—repurposing them into fuel for other living things to flourish. It is also one of very few viable methods for long-term carbon sequestration.
The benefits and uses of biochar are many and varied. They include:
- Reduces the loss of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and other valuable nutrients into air, water, and landfills.
- Increased soil fertility and agricultural yields.
- Improved soil structure, aeration, and water penetration.
- Shrinking dependence on and use of imported oil, fossil fuels, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides.
biochar under a microscope
The incredible amount of surface area within engineered Biochar promotes rapid, extensive chemical bonding, greatly enhances soil porosity, increases ground water retention (via capillarity), and re-establishes an environment within which healthy soil microbes and plant root tendrils thrive.

How does the process work?
Biochar can be applied to soil by drop spreaders and remain stable far longer than synthetically produced fertilizers or more natural options such as compost, plant residue and manure, all of which oxidize quickly. Through the process of gasification and pyrolysis technology, tons of biomass can be processed into energy, gases, and liquids—fueling sustainability and creative reuse of waste.
Biochar can be applied to soil by drop spreaders and remain stable far longer than compost, plant residue, or manure which oxidize quickly. In some cases, this can mean hundreds, even thousands of years. By comparison, synthetic and natural fertilizer products commercially available today have a viable life span that is measured in weeks and months.
And its impact is felt at levels both miniscule and massive. From speeding and strengthening seed growth to combatting climate change, biochar, when harnessed correctly, has the ability to address a wide-range of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
