Our Biochar is produced from organic wood waste and is a great solution for healthier soil, cleaner water, and long-term carbon storage, helping in farming, home gardening, and heavy industrial applications.
Calculate How Much Biochar You NeedBiochar is a stable, carbon-rich material produced by heating organic wood waste to high temperatures, creating a highly porous stable carbon structure.
It improves soil health, retains nutrients and water, supports microbial life, and provides long-term carbon storage for agriculture, landscaping, water filtration, and land restoration applications.
Biochar is a carbon negative solution to excess atmospheric carbon capture and storage (sequestration) for climate change mitigation.
It’s made when clean organic biomass is heated at high temperatures with controlled oxygen to create a thermo-chemical reaction. This process, called pyrolysis, creates a stable, high-quality form of charcoal designed for long-term performance.
Because Biochar has an ultra-porous structure with an exceptionally high surface area, it works like a carbon sponge, holding water, nutrients, and beneficial microbes where they’re needed most.
Biochar helps soil hold water and nutrients, supports healthier roots and microbes, and reduces nutrient loss. At larger scales, it will support water filtration, land restoration, and long-term carbon storage for climate change mitigation.
Our Silvachar Biochar is made from pure, clean, untreated residual wood biomass, suitable for food production.
Every drop of water, handful of nutrients, and season of growth should do more. Biochar helps create more resilient soil while turning BC forest wood waste into a value added product. .
Explore why Biochar works“Biochar is a shovel-ready solution that not only removes emissions but also provides a host of social and economic co-benefits.”
International Biochar Initiative
Holds water and nutrients in the root zone, helps improve soil structure, and supports crops through drought and stress.
Helps potting mixes hold moisture while improving airflow around roots and reducing nutrient runoff.
Supports greener turf with less watering, better drainage, and more resilient soil performance.
Makes soil easier to manage, helps retain compost nutrients, and keeps working for years after application.
Will help improve disturbed soils, support revegetation, reduce erosion, and bind many contaminants.
Its high surface area supports adsorption, moisture management, odour control, and filtration-media applications.
