BIOCHAR

Enriching Farms

Biochar is a nutrient and carbon-rich soil additive made from plants. Using biochar in your manure management can supercharge your organic fertiliser and improve your farm’s carbon storage, productivity and soil health.
BIOCHAR CASE STUDY

Biochar Increasing Grassland and Arable Yields on Dairy Farms

We have completed the second year of independently-run field trials with SRUC and UKCEH trialling the use of biochar in dairy manure management systems.

Harnessing Photosynthesis

Plants spend their lifetime absorbing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, keeping the planet in balance. At the end of their life - through either decomposition or burning - this carbon is returned back to the atmosphere.

Breaking the Carbon Cycle

When trees are harvested to produce timber, multiple product streams are created. Low-value co-products, such as sawdust and woodchip are typically decomposed or burned at the end of their life. These co-products are diverted to become biochar feedstock.

Pyrolysis to the Rescue

Biochar is produced by heating biomass in a low-oxygen environment, a process known as pyrolysis. This securely locks the carbon in biomass, preventing it from returning to the atmosphere for thousands of years. The pyrolysis process generates renewable heat which can be utilised in industry.
