Our business aligns with global, national and provincial sustainability goals, contributing to carbon sequestration and offering a green solution to wood residue management.

Our Mission

Our mission is to revolutionize wood residue management through innovative and sustainable solutions that benefit both the environment and our communities.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced by pyrolyzing organic matter such as excess wood or agricultural biomass, under low or no oxygen conditions. Biochar has numerous benefits to agriculture, horticulture, contaminant remediation, has water retention properties and so many more. Importantly, it offers the world a sustainable solution for the sequestration of carbon.

Discover Biochar’s Potential

Gardens

Biochar is an amazing addition to any garden. It increases water retention, improves soil structure, and creates an environment that fosters plant health. Whether you're growing flowers, vegetables, or herbs, biochar can enhance the vitality of your garden by improving nutrient availability and supporting beneficial soil organisms.

Compost

Adding biochar to your compost mix can provide numerous benefits. It helps to absorb odours, speeds up the composting process, and enhances the overall nutrient content of the compost. Once mixed into the soil, the biochar-enriched compost will continue to benefit your plants by improving soil fertility and structure.

Potted plants

Biochar is perfect for mixing into potting soil for potted plants. It improves the soil mix by retaining moisture, enhancing nutrient availability, and supporting the long-term health of your plants. Whether you're growing indoor houseplants or outdoor container gardens, biochar can help your plants thrive while reducing the need for frequent watering.

Agriculture

In agricultural settings, biochar is a valuable soil amendment that can improve crop yields, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and promote sustainable farming practices. By enhancing soil structure, nutrient retention, and microbial activity, biochar supports healthier crops and more resilient soils, contributing to long-term agricultural productivity.

Explore biochar benefits

  • Biochar's porous structure acts like a sponge, retaining essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil. This means that plants can access these nutrients over a longer period, leading to healthier growth and reduced need for chemical fertilizers.

  • Biochar can significantly improve the soil’s ability to retain water. Its porous structure allows it to hold moisture, making it available to plants during dry periods. This not only supports plant growth but also reduces the frequency of watering, conserving valuable water resources.

  • The structure of biochar helps to break up compacted soils, enhancing soil aeration and drainage. This allows plant roots to grow more freely and access oxygen more efficiently, promoting robust plant health and preventing issues like root rot.

  • Biochar provides an ideal habitat for beneficial soil microbes. By fostering a healthy microbial community, biochar enhances nutrient cycling and soil fertility, leading to healthier plants and more resilient ecosystems.

  • When added to compost, biochar can help reduce unpleasant odours by absorbing volatile compounds and enhancing the composting process. This makes composting a more pleasant and sustainable practice, even in urban or close-quarter environments.

  • Biochar is a stable form of carbon that can remain in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. By locking away carbon, biochar helps mitigate climate change while improving soil health. It’s a sustainable solution that benefits both the environment and agriculture.

Traditional method

    • Excess biomass typically consists of organic materials such as wood and agricultural residues, or other plant materials. In traditional methods, these materials are often considered waste and left to decompose naturally, which can lead to the release of methane and CO2.

    • Impact: If not managed properly, this biomass can contribute to environmental pollution, taking up space in landfills or being left to rot, which adds to carbon emissions.

    • Traditional disposal methods include burning biomass in open fields or chipping it for use as mulch. Burning wastes the energy stored in the biomass and releases CO2 and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Chipping can be energy intensive, and chipped wood often ends up in the landfill or left to rot, releasing CO2.

    • Impact: These methods are inefficient, as they fail to capture the potential value of biomass. They also contribute to CO2 emissions.

    • The traditional approach often results in minimal or no useful products. Burning leads to ash, which has limited use, and chipping does not significantly reduce the biomass volume.

    • Impact: This results in missed opportunities to create value-added products like biochar, which have beneficial uses in agriculture, horticulture and environmental management.

Our method

    • We utilize valuable wood biomass that would otherwise be wasted. Instead of letting it rot or burning it, we ensure that this resource is used sustainably.

    • Impact: This method lowers landfill use, and decreases the carbon footprint.

    • Our process uses pyrolysis, a thermochemical decomposition of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This method is energy-efficient and converts biomass into a stable form of carbon (biochar).

    • Impact: Pyrolysis is environmentally friendly and contributes to carbon sequestration by preventing it from ending up in the atmosphere.

    • Biochar has numerous applications, including improving soil fertility, enhancing water retention, and serving as a carbon sink.

    • Our method not only produces valuable biochar but also brings environmental benefits to communities and projects. By adopting our process, communities can reduce waste, increase sustainably, lower their carbon footprint, and create biochar.

    • Impact: This holistic approach benefits the environment and supports sustainable development. It offers a circular economy model where waste is transformed into valuable resources, driving both community and environmental well-being.
