Cities & Biochar:

Building urban resilience to climate change

Premium biochar produced in industrial volume by our technology to truly support cities

Once integrated into urban soils, biochar allows cities to address several environmental challenges:

Heat island effect

Mitigate the effect by improving soil cooling & increasing green spaces.

Extreme weather

Withstand extreme weather like flooding, droughts, and heat or cold waves.

Public expenses

Reduce costs on damaged infrastructure, emergency services, repairs, etc.

Pollution

Reduce pollution and foster healthier cities and communities.​

Why cities use biochar

Better stormwater management

Biochar helps cities manage stormwaters by improving soil water retention, promoting absorption, and reducing runoff, which decreases flooding and enhances water infiltration.

More green spaces, less pollution

Using biochar as a soil amendment helps capture contaminants, protecting groundwater and restoring soil health to create greener, more resilient urban spaces.

Stronger parks, sponge parks and flowerbeds

Adding biochar to compost in parks & flower beds enhances their ability to reduce heat island effect and manage water runoff. This helps cities be more resilient & sustainable.

Powerful green roofs

Biochar improves rainwater management, plant growth, and substrate stability for green roofs, offering a sustainable alternative to clay balls and peat.

Soil restoration

Biochar supports cities in restoring compacted soil by improving soil structure, aeration, and water retention, leading to soil revitalization and healthier plant growth.

Happy & healthy citizens

Improving soil health, expanding green spaces, and reducing pollution make citizens healthier and happier, helping cities attract new residents and ensure a better environment.​

Certification

Our biochar meets the stringent standards of the European Biochar Certification, ensuring quality and sustainability. Additionally, it complies with EBC Agro and AgroOrganic standards.

These globally recognized certifications are available upon request and reflect our commitment to producing high-quality biochar. We are proud to deliver products of the highest standard.

Carbon sequestration

Biochar is a powerful carbon sink, capable of sequestering CO2 in the soil or materials for over 1,000 years. One ton of biochar can store between 2 to 3 tons of CO2 equivalent, enabling the generation of carbon credits on the voluntary & regulatory market.

We use Cula.tech as our dMRV (digital measuring, reporting, and verifying software) to accurately track the carbon sequestration of our biochar.

We are Puro.Earth certified, ensuring high-quality carbon dioxide removal (CDR) with trusted and verifiable standards. Microsoft has already committed to purchasing carbon credits from the Carbonity project.
