fertility, retain moisture, improve microbial
life, and sequester carbon for centuries!
India, with its agriculture-based economy, has immense potential for biochar adoption:
Biochar can help manage agricultural residues sustainably, reducing stubble burning and air pollution.
Biochar improves soil fertility in degraded lands, a pressing issue in India.
By capturing and storing carbon, biochar can play a significant role in India’s carbon sequestration efforts.
Biochar is a carbon-rich, charcoal-like material produced by burning organic biomass (such as agricultural waste, wood chips, or crop residues) in a controlled environment with limited oxygen. This process, known as pyrolysis, prevents complete combustion, leaving behind a highly porous and stable form of carbon. Sources of Biochar is Woody and dry matter, including Agricultural wastes such as Straw, Husks, and Nut Shells
