Biochar On Site
@biocharonsite.bsky.social
Empowering communities to create biochar right where it’s needed. Our site-based, shovel-ready approach uses safe, scalable fire practices to reduce wildfire risks, enrich soils, and build climate resilience.
Such a great mapping project!

There are two commercial producers in Maine. biochar-us.org/directory?pa... Also options for producing biochar on site using low tech and mid tech systems.

Please share the progress with us. Will the plans be open source?

Agree! Biochar is a foundational tool 🔧 not an end in itself but a safe and scalable starting point for innovation, integration, and positive change in environmental, economic, and social systems.

Google scholar is your friend. Searching "biochar" has 23,600 results in just 2024 alone.
Some great resources from the recent North American Biochar Conference this past Spring can be found here: biochar-us.org/biochar2024

Who manufactured the pyrolyzer? Is it a bespoke one-off project or will they be selling the systems to market?
Looks very steam punk.

Many BECCS projects have, or can have, biochar as output byproduct. This would give two-for-one towards the solution!

They absolutely dominate in total biochar production and especially in biochar based and biochar amended fertilizers.
Kudos on their open source practices with all the research papers.

Looks great! Super clean.

Emission studies are being conducted on flame cap processes; fire box, pit, trench, & conservation burns. This off the cuff statement might seem reasonable but is inaccurate. We will be posting data as the studies continue to release.
There are many ecosystem benefits to Biochar Carbon Removal.

Decay and release carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides. More than just carbon release.
Stabilizing that carbon in the feedstock to remove it from the carbon cycle and putting it to use in soils is a big win all the way around.
Far better than combusting it to ash.

Love seeing waste turned to value in a responsible way!
Let's call it charcoal / biocoal / biofuel when used as fuel, not biochar. We need to stop identifying anything we burn as biochar. Biochar is charcoal we sequester in soils, the built environment (cement/asphalt/wall board/etc), or similar.
