What is Biochar?
Genesis Biochar is a stable carbon-based soil conditioner produced through the process of pyrolysis. Our substrate consists of softwood, wood chips, and sawmill waste. Pyrolysis involves heating biomass to high temperatures exceeding 1000°F in a low-oxygen environment, leading to the transformation of organic matter into a stable carbon.
Biochar is a highly porous material with a large surface area, making it an effective soil amendment and carbon sequestration tool. When incorporated into soil, biochar enhances soil structure, improves water retention, increases nutrient availability, and fosters a habitat for beneficial soil microorganisms. Additionally, biochar has the remarkable ability to sequester carbon in soil for extended periods, thereby aiding in mitigating climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
In agricultural practices, Genesis Biochar is utilized to enhance soil fertility, boost crop yields, and enhance overall soil health. It is also employed in various environmental applications, including wastewater treatment, remediation of contaminated soils, and as a renewable energy source.
Overall, Genesis Biochar represents a promising sustainable solution for soil improvement, carbon sequestration, and environmental remediation, contributing to endeavors for a more sustainable and resilient future.
