- About Biochar - International Biochar Initiative
Biochar is produced through pyrolysis or gasification — processes that heat biomass in the absence (or under reduction) of oxygen In addition to creating a soil enhancer, sustainable biochar practices can produce oil and gas byproducts that can be used as fuel, providing clean, renewable energy
