Biochar
The soil amendment you only need once
Our production of biochar averts the fate that carbon from plant biomass would otherwise have, decomposing into greenhouse gases CO2 or CH4. Biochar is a highly porous, solid carbon that is stable in soil for 100 to 1000 years.
Biochar offers a world of benefits for farming.
- Enhanced Soil Aeration: The porous structure of biochar increases soil aeration, providing a perfect habitat for the soil microbes that deliver moisture and nutrients to plants.
- Water Retention: Biochar and the microbes it supports retain moisture, reducing irrigation water needs by 50% and also protecting the land from heavy precipitation events.
- Nutrient Retention: Biochar acts as a reservoir for nutrients in the soil, making them readily available to both microbes and the crops they support.
- Composting and Water Purification: Biochar also proves invaluable for improving composting processes, particularly when combined with wood vinegar.
Biochar's remarkable varsatility
At Enventix, we are committed to exploring the diverse applications of biochar and continually harnessing its potential uses as an advanced material.
Unlocking the Potential of Graphene: Biochar serves as a critical precursor in the production of graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material known for its exceptional strength, conductivity, and versatility. Biochar undergoes a controlled activation process to create high-quality graphene. This advanced material has applications in electronics, energy storage, sensors, and much more.
Water and Soil Remediation: Biochar’s porous structure and adsorption capabilities make it a valuable tool for addressing pressing environmental challenges. Biochar adsorbs heavy metals and contaminants from water for safe and clean drinking water supplies. Biochar plays a pivotal role in rejuvenating degraded soils or contaminated soils.
