What is Biochar?
Thursday July 23, 2009 @ 11:05 am
Biochar is a charcoal product that is created as result of either
Pyrolysis or Gasification. Simply put, biochar is created from a low-
to no-oxygen burn (thermal conversion) of feedstock or biomass under
intense pressure, returning it to carbon. In the case of EternaGreen TM BioChar, it is created as result of a process called EternaGreen TM carbonization, which is a form of pyrolysis patented by Mantria Industries.
Biochar is
typically a fine-grained product, high in organic compounds and highly
resistant to decomposition. As a soil amendment, EternaGreen TM BioChar can help sequester CO2
as well as nitrous oxide by absorbing it into the soil and acting as
what is called a Carbon Sink, thus greatly reducing greenhouse gases
globally. In addition, EternaGreen TM BioChar has
been proven to decrease the acidity of the earth s soil, which greatly
reduces the need for commercial fertilizers while absorbing up to 30%
more water. As result, biochar has been proven to help crop yields
increase by as much as 80-400%.
Biochar is also carbon negative, meaning that the creation of EternaGreen TM BioChar actually
reverses the greenhouse gas problem that the world is facing. By using
the waste from agriculture and even municipal waste from you and me to
create our product, it is expected that we will reduce the waste going
to landfills by 30%. In addition, EternaGreen TM BioChar will sequester and store CO2 from the atmosphere for hundreds or even thousands of years, reducing the net amount of CO2 in the Earth s atmosphere, thus making it carbon negative.
In a nutshell, EternaGreen TM Biochar is a pure carbon product with several uses from fertilizer to filtration. EternaGreen TM
Biochar promises to be a key player in reducing the world s waste while
providing some astounding benefits for the global community.
