Building a more sustainable
future
The buildings and construction sector are by far the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for 37% of emissions globally (UNEP). Materials have a large carbon impact either through energy intensive production (for example with cement), or through the environmental impact of materials extraction.
The market for lower carbon products is growing fast, and biochar can give manufacturers a route to develop high-quality, lower carbon products. Additionally, biochar itself can introduce desirable properties to materials, such as flexibility or insulation.

Application of biochar
In Cement
Rate of Application: 3-5% by weight of building material.
Ideal Particle Size: Coarse particles (5-20mm) to maintain structural integrity and insulation.
Reaching
net-zero
Whilst displacing other materials will have an immediate impact on the carbon footprint of products, the method by which biochar is produced is itself an engineered carbon removal process. Businesses wishing to go further to offer a net-zero, or even a carbon negative product, can offset any residual impact by acquiring the carbon credits generated during the biochar’s production.
