Biochar Bar
Biochar is a stable form of carbon that enhances soil fertility and improves carbon sequestration, helping mitigate climate change. Additionally, biochar improves water retention capacity and nutrient efficiency in soil, leading to increased production and reduced fertilizer runoff. We hope to utilize these benefits at REAP and create a sustainable future
Biochar is a powerful practice that converts agricultural waste into nutrient-dense soil that can hold carbon, enhance biodiversity, boost food security, and discourage deforestation. It is produced through pyrolysis or gasification, which are processes that heat biomass in the absence of oxygen. In doing so, biochar practices can produce oil and gas byproducts that can provide clean, renewable energy. Together, biochar systems can become carbon negative and help us combat climate change.
By converting agricultural waste into nutrient-dense soil, we're not only boosting food security but also enhancing biodiversity and safeguarding against deforestation.
As we embrace biochar's diverse applications, from mycelial remediation to eco-friendly ink pigments and concrete alternatives, we inspire a generation that pioneers sustainable solutions across various industries. By engaging in the Biochar Bar, participants gain not only a comprehensive understanding of this powerful practice but also acquire hands-on skills in biochar production and application.
Where we are now
Our Biochar Bar program is currently in the development stage. We welcome sharing our vision and ideas with you as a community member, contributor, or possible partner. To learn more about how to contribute, check out our Get Involved tab and our Partners page.
