Produced through the pyrolysis of organic materials, such as wood, crop residues, and manure, under low oxygen conditions. It is used primarily as a soil amendment to improve soil health, enhance water retention, and increase soil fertility. Biochar helps sequester carbon in the soil, making it a valuable tool for mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It also supports beneficial microbial activity in the soil, leading to improved plant growth and crop yields.

Key Points
- Carbon Sequestration: Biochar sequesters carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and helping mitigate climate change.
- Improved Soil Health: Biochar enhances soil structure, increases water retention, and reduces nutrient leaching. This leads to healthier soils that require less fertilizer, reducing the environmental impact of agricultural practices.
- Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions: By improving soil health and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, biochar helps decrease nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions from agricultural activities.
- Waste Management: The production of biochar from agricultural and forestry waste converts these residues into a valuable product, reducing the amount of waste that would otherwise contribute to landfill or open burning, which releases pollutants.
