Did you know that biochar had been a way of disposing of biomass, including organic waste safely while respecting the natural equilibrium from ancient times? The discovery of Terra pretaor the Amazonian Black Earth and similar soils shows that this ancient practice holds many secrets on how biochar provides high levels of nutrient retention in soil and increased crop productivity.

Biochar production brings three main advantages at the same time,

1. Carbon drawdown – by storing carbon in the product for a long period of time, avoiding its release into the atmosphere,
2. Biomass disposal – by diverting biomass to the biological cycle safely and effectively
3. Nutrient circulation and adding value to the applied product/application – providing nutrient value to a multitude of applications, including soil  enrichment

The Australia New Zealand Biochar Industry Group (ANZBIG) held its annual biochar conference on the 8th and 9th of September, to map out opportunities for significantly scaling up the industry. Find out more on their website.
