Sustainable Agricultural Catalyst: Premium Biochar Soil Additive
Biochar is a name for charcoal when it is used for particular purposes. Like all charcoals, biochar is created by pyrolysis of biomass. Specifically, biochar is produced from wood, using a higher temperature pyrolysis process as compared to the temperatures used for torrefaction and biocarbon production – 400⁰C to 500⁰C. Biochar is used in agricultural applications as a soil additive. When applied to soil, biochar acts as an agricultural catalyst by promoting plant growth but is not consumed. Since it is a catalyst, its benefits continue for generations without further addition.
