A biochar production plant  heats wood byproducts in a low-oxygen environment, creating a charcoal-like substance that can sequester carbon and improve soil health for local farms. When biochar is mixed with compost and applied to farmland, it mimics coral reefs, acting as a reservoir for essential nutrients, microorganisms, and water—a crucial resource in drought-stricken California. The highly porous nature of biochar offers an ideal habitat for a diverse range of beneficial soil microorganisms, thereby promoting optimal soil and plant health, according to the USDA.
