You got that right. While biochar isn't a magic bullet, it is able to do some incredible things across so many sectors.

Awesome. We love to see biochar production happening!

PCBs can enter the environment through landfill runoff and cycle through land, air and water. David Ramotowski

Good news! Environmental engineers are making progress in a new method to clean up PCBs, a dangerous ‘forever chemical’ that lingers in the water, using bacteria attached to biochar made from corn kernels.

Your input on the survey helps:
✔️ Benchmark global biochar market size, scale, and growth potential
✔️ Segment end-use markets across regions
✔️ Create cost models at multiple production scales
✔️ Identify key drivers & barriers for industry growth

Hosted in partnership with IBI, the US Biochar Initiative, and State of Carbon Dioxide Removal, we’re building the most complete picture of biochar’s size, scale, and future growth, and we need your voice.

It's #CarbonRemovalDay – the perfect day to help shape the future of the biochar industry! 🌱

The 2nd Global Biochar Market Survey is back.

🕒 Takes ~10 minutes to complete
🔒 Anonymous & GDPR-compliant

The Future of Biochar Needs Every Voice - International Biochar Initiative To really unlock biochar’s potential, greater inclusion is essential: of women, of the Global South, of diverse voices in the spaces where decisions are made.

Last week, the IBI team participated in @usbiochar.bsky.social's North American Biochar Conference.

Valeria Araico shares her takeaways from the conference in this month's newsletter.

P.S. The 2025 Global Biochar Survey has officially launched!

In collaboration with @ibi-biochar.bsky.social & @usbiochar.bsky.social we are excited to launch the Biochar Market Research Survey tinyurl.com/4pf73sxc

If you're a stakeholder in the #biochar industry, complete our survey & share with your network. Help make our estimates as accurate as possible!

In Kenya, recent studies show that switching to biochar-producing gasifier stoves could cut harmful air pollution by up to 97% - saving fuel & turning waste into a climate-smart soil booster.
