What is Biochar and why do we need to know how to make it? Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich form of charcoal made from organic waste that is used to improve soil health and lock away carbon.
What is Biochar A fine-grained, highly porous charcoal produced from organic matter. Structure: It acts like a microscopic sponge with vast internal surface area. Benefits: It holds water, stores nutrients, and provides a habitat for beneficial soil microbes.
Climate Impact: It acts as a long-term carbon sink, sequestering carbon in the ground for centuries.
The process: Because oxygen is restricted or absent, the material does not burn to ash, but instead breaks down into solid carbon and released volatile gases.
