Biochar Production

Biochar is a powerful tool in our fight against climate change and soil degradation. At Samridh Bharat, we utilize biochar production as a key method to enhance soil health, increase agricultural productivity, and sequester carbon.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is a form of charcoal created by heating organic biomass (such as agricultural waste, wood chips, or manure) in a controlled process called pyrolysis. This process occurs in the absence or near-absence of oxygen, which stabilizes the carbon content and makes it resistant to decomposition.

Benefits of Biochar

1. Carbon Sequestration: Biochar locks carbon in a stable form, preventing it from returning to the atmosphere as CO2. This makes it an effective method for long-term carbon storage.
2. Soil Enhancement: When added to soil, biochar improves its structure, water retention, and nutrient-holding capacity. This leads to healthier plants and higher agricultural yields.
3. Waste Management: Biochar production provides a sustainable way to manage agricultural waste, converting it into a valuable resource rather than letting it decompose and emit greenhouse gases.
4. Reduction of Greenhouse Gases: Besides storing carbon, biochar can reduce emissions of nitrous oxide and methane from soils, contributing further to climate mitigation.

Our Biochar Projects

At Samridh Bharat, we have implemented biochar projects across various regions, focusing on both small-scale and large-scale production:

1. Community-Based Initiatives: We work with local farmers to set up small-scale biochar kilns. These projects not only improve soil health but also provide an additional source of income for farmers through the sale of biochar.
2. Large-Scale Production: In collaboration with agricultural and industrial partners, we have established larger biochar production facilities. These facilities process significant quantities of biomass, providing a steady supply of biochar for extensive agricultural use and carbon credits.

Process of Biochar Production

1. Collection of Biomass: Organic waste materials are collected from farms, forests, and other sources.
2. Pyrolysis: The biomass is heated in specially designed kilns or reactors at temperatures ranging from 300°C to 700°C, in an oxygen-limited environment.
3. Biochar Extraction: The resulting biochar is cooled, collected, and prepared for application or sale.
4. Application: The biochar is then applied to agricultural fields, gardens, and other areas where soil enhancement is needed.

Impact and Future Goals

Through our biochar initiatives, Samridh Bharat has:

• Sequestered thousands of tonnes of carbon, contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts.
• Improved the soil health and productivity of numerous agricultural lands.
• Empowered local communities with knowledge and resources to produce and utilize biochar effectively.

Our future goals include expanding biochar production facilities, conducting further research on biochar applications, and promoting wider adoption of biochar technologies to maximize environmental and social benefits.
