BioChar Engineering :: Home



Biochar Engineering builds biochar production equipment. We design, develop, and deploy industrial equipment that uses waste biomass, such as agricultural or forestry residue, to produce biochar. According to NASA climate scientist Dr. James Hansen, biochar is one of the key ways to remove net carbon from the atmosphere. Biochar increases soil fertility and decreases net carbon in the atmosphere. The company is currently producing small first-generation field-scale units for research in agricultural soil fertility, mine tailings reclamation and forest management. We will scale-up to shipping container-sized systems next year, and to larger portable and relocatable installations for biochar production in coming years. BEC's technology mimics nature's intelligence creating valuable co-products, ultimately including biochar and process heat with or without electricity or liquid fuels.
