BiocharBiochar is a carbon-rich material created from biomass decomposition in low-oxygen conditions. It has important applications in environmental remediation, soil improvement, agriculture, carbon sequestration, energy storage, and sustainable materials, promoting efficiency and reducing waste in various contexts while addressing climate change challenges. More made from coffee husks could help reduce emissions and fight climate change. It’s a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to improve soil health and boost crop yields.

“It’s a cause for great hope,” says Kathleen Draper, board chair of the International Biochar Initiative, a nonprofit organization that provides training and publishes industry standards for the use of biochar. “The industry has grown rapidly over the past years. But knowledge, particularly among the public, remains low.”
