EARTHWORKS BIOCHAR

Biochar is another name for activated charcoal used for agricultural purposes and a bi-product of Phoenix Energy's biomass power plants. It is a valuable resource in the fight against global warming. Phoenix Energy and its partners sell biochar to entities interested in reducing their carbon footprint and maximizing their agricultural productivity... Biochar is used to increase soil fertility, improve water quality, reduce soil emissions of greenhouse gases, reduce leaching of nutrients in the soil, and reduce soil acidity. Biochar is being investigated as an approach to carbon sequestration in the production of negative carbon dioxide emissions... Biochar acts like a sponge, holding water, and creating a home for microorganisms to thrive, creating more nutrient dense, rich soil.
