Sustainable Biomass Energy
Carbon that stays carbon.
Biomass, carbonized under oxygen-limited heat into a form stable enough to remain in soil for centuries rather than seasons.
- Fixed carbon
- 70–85%
- H/Corg ratio
- < 0.7molar
- pH value
- 8–10
- Moisture
- ≤10%
Left to rot or burn in the open, biomass carbon returns to the atmosphere within a season. Pyrolysed instead, the same carbon locks into a stable lattice that soil scientists measure in centuries.
Five stages, one stable carbon.
It starts as biomass residue.
Agricultural and forestry residue — husk, bamboo, wood offcuts — collected rather than grown for the purpose.
Dried and sized before the kiln.
Moisture and particle size are controlled at intake — both determine how evenly the material carbonizes downstream.
Heated with the air shut out.
Oxygen-limited thermal conversion locks carbon into a stable solid instead of releasing it as CO₂ — the reaction that defines biochar rather than ash.
Verified before it ships, not assumed.
Each batch is tested for fixed carbon, H/Corg molar ratio and pH — the figures that determine whether a carbonized material actually qualifies as biochar.
Screened for soil, not just carbon.
Graded to the particle size an application needs — field-scale amendment or fine-mesh blends — and packed for domestic and export supply.

Why it works.
- Soil health & fertility
- Improves soil structure, enhances nutrient retention, and reduces nutrient leaching for higher agricultural productivity.
- Water retention boost
- Porous structure acts like a sponge, significantly increasing moisture retention during drought conditions.
- Permanent carbon sequestration
- Locks carbon into a stable form that remains sequestered in soils for hundreds to thousands of years.
- Microbial habitat support
- Provides a protective habitat for beneficial soil microorganisms and mycorrhizal fungi.
- pH neutralization & remediation
- Helps buffer acidic soils and adsorbs heavy metals or environmental contaminants.
What actually makes it biochar.
H/Corg below 0.7 and organic carbon above 10% is the IBI/EBC floor for the term. Ours runs well clear of it.
| Parameter | Unit | Typical value | Method |

| Fixed carbon | % | 70–85 | ASTM D1762 |
| Organic carbon content | % | 60–80 | IBI Category A |

| Moisture content | % | ≤10 | ASTM D1762 |

H/Corg ratio
IBI and the EBC both cap this at 0.7 — above it, the material is charcoal dust, not biochar.
Organic carbon floor
The published minimum for the term to apply at all. Ours runs 60–80%, well clear of the line.
IBI testing tier
Mandatory fundamental-property testing — the baseline every batch is measured against before release.
