Biochar Production Technologies

Biochar production technologies involve transforming organic materials like crop residues or wood into a stable carbon-rich substance called biochar through controlled heating processes. These processes, such as pyrolysis, thermally decompose biomass in low-oxygen environments, preventing combustion and retaining carbon. Variations include slow pyrolysis, fast pyrolysis, and gasification, each suited for different yields and applications. Biochar enhances soil fertility, reduces greenhouse gases, and supports sustainable agriculture. The choice of technology depends on scale, feedstock type, and desired biochar properties, offering an eco-friendly way to manage waste while benefiting the environment.
