What Is BioChar
Biochar can be made from organic biomass. What is biomass? Biomass is every where: grass clippings, timber waste, trees with beetle infestation, crop waste, vegetable scraps cardboard, paper, manure and even dead animals.
After all we're just talking about durable carbon that remains in the soil for very long periods of time. Spokas determined the durability of biochar in soils and concluded that biochar has a half-life of at least 1000 years. (K.A. Spokas 2010)
Biochar and charcoal may look alike but the difference is how they are used. Charcoal is used as a fuel and biochar is used in the soil as a valuable soil amendment. It holds nutrients in the soil preventing them from washing away from storms.
How is biochar made from organic biomass?
Organic biomass is heated to a high temperature without of oxygen this process is called pyrolysis, in doing so a chemical process occurs and moisture is driven out of the material and dried out, what is left is a very light black material that under a microscope looks like a honeycomb.
Biochar For Climate Change
Biochar is a tool for linked to bioenergy production can be carbon negative and restore infertile soil to help reduce climate change.
By enriching the soil we remove and sequester excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the soil.
How much do biochar carbon credits sell for?
Some deals have been heard as high as $525/tCO2e in small volumes, but most trades have been between $100-200 / ton, depending on the volume involved, the location, the financial terms and 'financial additionality' (ie, need for carbon finance) of the project in question. Read More

BioChar on Paulownia Tree Farms
Our paulownia tree plantations that are utilized in carbon project management for the the creation of carbon credits for the voluntary and compliance carbon markets utilize the biochar as a soil amendment to grow healthy paulownia trees.

As you see how the use of biochar supports a 360 degree circular economy. Utilizing our paulownia forest waste, the limbs from the tops of the trees, the off cuts from our paulownia lumber operations and saw dust are used as biochar biomass to feed our trees the nutrients they need and support healthy soils for all of our agricultural operations.

"Indeed, as the visionary Leonardo da Vinci once said, 'We know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot.' Biochar truly embodies the spirit of innovation by turning infertile soil fertile again, positively impacting our planet. 🌍✨ By the way, for those making strides in environmental sustainability, there's an exciting sponsorship opportunity for the Guinness World Record of Tree Planting happening soon.
