Get Biochar to Apply: How It Bring Business Opportunity?
Carbon Sequestration: Rising Carbon Sink Market
Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Biochar is a tool that converts this kind of CO2 into a stable form of carbon. Its stable chemical structure can store carbon underground for hundreds of years. Thus, this application helps with carbon removal and addresses climate change.
Soil Improvement: Sustainable Agriculture
Biochar improves soil quality and promotes plants growth in such functions:
- enhance soil aeration, drainage, promoting nutrient cycling in the soil.
- adsorb harmful substances in the soil, remediating polluted soils.
- neutralize acidic soils
Metal Smelting Industry
- Reducing Agent: Biochar serves as a substitute for traditional coke or coal in metal ore purification and smelting.
- Energy Source: With high calorific value, biochar can partially replace fossil fuels (such as coal and coke) for heating equipment like smelting furnaces. This contributes to cleaner production processes.
Feed Additive: Low-Carbon Animal Husbandry
- Methane Absorption: Ruminant methane emissions contribute to 30% of global anthropogenic methane emissions. Biochar’s excellent adsorption properties help mitigate this impact.
- Feed Detoxification: Biochar reduces harmful substances in feed like pathogens, improving overall animal health.
Analysis of Final Biochar – Biochar Specification
About Biochar Yield
Taking sawdust, rice rusk and crushed coconut shell as examples, using 1 ton raw materials with moisture content below 10% can get 280kg-310kg finished charcoal. The proportion is basically maintained at 3:1, after removing the moisture.

Raw Materials for Biochar Making Machine
Common Biomass Types to Make Biochar
- Agricultural Waste: Rice husk, straws, sugarcane bagasse, jute stalks.
- Forestry Waste: Wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, bamboo waste, eucalyptus bark.
- Food Processing Waste: Coconut shells, palm kernel shells, peanut shells, almond shells, hazelnut shells, olive husks, and coffee grounds.
- etc.
Standard to Choose Biomass Material Types
- Good flowability: Poor flowability can cause materials to stop flowing and accumulate in the hopper (e.g., palm fibers have poor flowability).
- Uniform size: Oversized materials can jam the feed screw, while overly thin materials tend to turn into powder.
- Minimal dust/powder: Excessive powder in raw materials can clog pipelines and affect biochar quality. (Harder materials, such as coconut or fruit shells, are recommended.)
Requirements for Biomass Materials Feeding
- Size: 5-20mm (8 mm is the best). Generally, a crusher is required for raw materials larger than 2cm.
The smaller the feeding size, the smaller the gap between the materials, and the smaller the oxygen intake. - Moisture: Normally, keep biomass moisture below 15%.
A dryer becomes necessary when the moisture content exceeds 15%. One dryer can reduce the moisture by 30%. When the moisture content of the raw materials is higher than 45%, two dryers are required.
