biomass to energy

Where does biochar come in?

Biochar is a carbon-rich material similar to charcoal, produced by heating organic biomass in a low-oxygen environment—a process known as pyrolysis. Biochar is used primarily as a soil amendment. This is due to its ability to enhance soil fertility, improve water retention, and sequester carbon, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation. This method stabilizes the carbon in the biomass, converting it into a carbon-rich, porous material that has numerous agricultural and environmental benefits.
