Energy storage applications

Diagram: biomass precursors are converted into biochar with high surface area and porosity for batteries and supercapacitors

Biochar derived from biomass is illustrated schematically for use in energy storage applications. Biochar is first produced from a variety of biomass feedstocks, including fruit peel, eggshells, seeds, dedicated crops, and biomass waste precursors. Subsequently, various modification treatments are carried out to synthesise a Biochar-based material with a high surface area, high porosity, improved electrical conductivity, high energy content, and a large number of abundant functional groups. This Biochar-based material has the potential to be used in energy storage applications such as batteries and supercapacitors due to its low cost, efficiency, and active energy storage properties.

Energy, carbon and health

Carbon credits

For every ton of our Biochar produced, 3.2 tons of CO2 offsets are created, making our Biochar an excellent tool for carbon sequestration. Our Biochar is the only one in the world to date whose Biochar quality and the carbon credits it produces are verified, certified, and insured by a major global insurance company, and also has certified Carbon Life Cycle Analysis.

Medical and healthcare

Biochar has many emerging applications in the medical and healthcare industries due to the physical, chemical, and electrical properties of our Premium Engineered Biochar among them being both cationic & anionic as well as having a very large active surface area. Because of our unique proprietary patented manufacturing process, these qualities are possessed only by our Biochar.

Soil and food

Regenerative agriculture

Studies confirm that Biochar-enriched soils grow larger and healthier plants with a larger crop, especially in inferior quality soils, due to weather damage, and floods. In fact, Biochar users report that their financial expenses for use of our Biochar are paid during the first year due to an increase in revenue from the increased yields as well as decrease in the inputs for water, fertilizer, and pesticides per acre.
