The International Biochar Initiative - Anaerobe

Climate change is here, but so are solutions. Biochar is affordable, scalable, and available now. Biochar is a powerful soil enhancer that holds carbon, makes soils more fertile, moderates soil acidity, and increases beneficial microbes.

According to the International Biochar Initiative, “Biochar systems can reverse soil degradation and create sustainable food and fuel production in areas with severely depleted soils, scarce organic resources, and inadequate water and chemical fertilizer supplies. By making croplands more fertile for longer periods of time, biochar discourages deforestation. Low-cost, small-scale biochar production units can produce biochar to build gardens, agricultural and forest productivity, and provide thermal energy for cooking and drying grain. With the addition of an engine or turbine, these systems can produce kinetic energy for grinding grain or making electricity. ”
