Bio Char

Biochar is charcoal created by pyrolysis of biomass and can be used as a fuel in place of charcoal or used for biosequestration as an easy and very low cost form of carbon capture and storage. Charcoal is a stable solid rich in carbon content, and thus, can be used to lock carbon in the soil.

Biochar production is of increasing interest to emitters as a means of capture and recycling of greenhouse gas emissions and waste water - as happens with an MBD Energy Limited CO2 to Energy Algal Synthesiser.

Biochar can be produced by algal biomass pyrolysis and serve as a substitute for wood charcoal fuel applications. Alternatively it can be used as a highly effective additive to improve the fertility and productivity of agricultural lands – reducing demand for increased land clearing of native vegetation.
