Biochar Soil Restoration
Charcoal produced from agricultural waste through pyrolysis, then added to degraded soil. It locks carbon underground for centuries while dramatically improving water retention, nutrient availability, and microbial health.
Why It Matters
A third of the world's soil is degraded. Biochar restores fertility while sequestering carbon, turning agricultural waste from a pollution source into a climate solution.
