PROTECT & RESTORE

Welcome to the Biochar Club™

Biochar: a material formed by heating biomass (plants and trees) at high temperatures in the absence (or near absence) of oxygen.

Biochar has the power to purify water, reduce pollution, improve crop yields, store energy, improve the strength of roads and buildings, capture carbon and restore life to damaged land. Biochar's potential to improve our planet is understood through world-class research and practical application.

Although known about for thousands of years, biochar has often been hidden away in academic research and large-scale projects dependent on expensive logistics to deliver biomass to the production site. Technically proven, but expensive and limited in availability. 

Biochar Club™ was formed to solve these challenges, to drive down cost and increase availability, enabling our Members to make their own biochar, to the highest standards, using their own biomass, easily and at low cost compared to other technologies.

 

When we went to market to enable this vision, we found few equipment providers, high costs and low throughputs, so we designed our own technology from scratch, the M-Kiln™.

Our

M-Kiln ™

Designed to be safe, as easy to use as a microwave, needing minimal training or maintenance, able to fit into our members businesses and go to biomass rather than the other way round, yet affordable enough to be accessible. 

The M-Kiln™ combines  3,000-year-old flame cap pyrolysis, advanced materials, insulation, airflow control and a secondary combustion chamber to deliver premium biochar.

Our integrated KilnOS™ monitors 10,000 data points an hour to ensure consistency , feeding back to operators via a handheld tablet. Dollar for dollar, we believe the M-Kiln™ is one of the most efficient pyrolysis units on the planet.

Areas we work in

Biochar Club™ invites arborists, landowners and growers to join us in delivering real change in our communities and environment. As well as these users we have focussed our launch on three segments; wildfire fuel reduction, disaster debris management and the diversion of food waste from landfill to composting.  

Combined these three activities represent almost 300 million tons of biomass for conversion to biochar, benefitting vulnerable communities by reducing wildfire risk, accelerating disaster recovery and preventing hundreds of millions of tons of emissions from being released, as smoke, particulates and greenhouse gases.

Farming & Forestry

For growers, foresters and landscapers, biochar made from residues and trimmings can improve soil structure, retain moisture, and boost microbial life. Growers see healthier crops, improved yields, and less reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

Build resilience from the ground up.

Integrating biochar made from difficult to manage ‘overs’ accelerates production cycles, reduces emissions and increases nitrogen retention creating a premium soil conditioner to enhance composters profits..

Disaster Management

From risk to resilience. 

Every year 3-4 million acres of forest are cleared as part of wildfire removal programmes, the vast majority burnt in situ creating large amounts of smoke and GHG emissions and scar burns that deplete soil biology. By using the M-Kiln to create biochar damaged burnt soil structure can be regenerated, moisture levels increased, and nature restored.

From debris to regeneration.​

Natural disasters create huge volumes of debris. By converting recovered biomass (fallen trees and vegetation) into soil enhancing biochar, communities can speed up their recovery and farms can be assisted in returning to production, enhancing erosion control, instead of releasing GHG’s to the atmosphere. 

Events

Biochar Club connects farmers, recovery crews, and local authorities with low-cost, high-impact technology strengthening both business, the communities we live in today and the environment future generations.
