Biochar – Origin, Production and Applications

Biochar – Origin, Production and Applications

At its core, biochar is just charcoal but not just any charcoal. Biochar is made specifically from biomass – wood, plant trimmings, leaves, or crop residues – created using a special low-oxygen combustion method called pyrolysis. Let us breakdown what that means: Biomass: Recently living organic material (wood, crop residues,… Continue reading

Biomethane – A Sustainable Alternative to Fossil Fuels
