What is biochar?

Biochar is produced by thermal carbonization (pyrolysis) of biomass such as waste wood, hedge trimmings as well as other biogenic residues, e.g. from the food industry. Its porous structure and high internal surface area enable it to store water and nutrients and function as a filter material. These attributes make it a versatile substance with significant potential applications in agriculture, industry, and construction.

What makes biochar a soil improver?

Biochar aids in the accumulation of humus in the soil and hinders the leaching of phosphorus and nitrate. It also reduces nitrous oxide emissions on agricultural land and minimizes the need for irrigation. In addition, the resistance of plants to fungal diseases is increased.

As a soil additive, it can serve as a substitute for peat, thereby helping to preserve peatlands. The degradation of these peatlands due to peat extraction leads to methane emissions, a greenhouse gas approximately 28 times more harmful to the climate than CO₂.

What can biochar be used for?

Novocarbo’s biochar primarily serves as a soil conditioner, a peat alternative in the earth industry, or in storm-water management for blue-green infrastructure projects.

Additionally, it substitutes for fossil fuels or high-emission materials in various industrial applications. Examples include molded parts, housings and functional components made of plastic, flooring, and concrete aggregates.

Novocarbo aims to expedite the active decarbonization of the industry with its economically viable products.
