Fact File

🪨 Biochar can not only be used to store carbon, but also to improve soil health, pH and moisture, and remediate polluted soils.

🔎 Biochar was used thousands of years ago, particularly in South America where indigenous populations used it to increase the fertility of Amazonian soil.

About this Project
The Problem

The traditional combustion of biomass in industrial processes releases CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Additionally, the byproducts of these processes, if not managed sustainably, can lead to environmental degradation.

The Solution

Freres Lumber addresses this issue by producing biochar as a byproduct of biomass combustion in an oxygen-controlled environment. Biochar is the lightweight black residue, consisting of carbon and ashes, remaining after the pyrolysis of biomass, and is a form of charcoal. It is effective in sequestering carbon and has a long half-life, making it a viable solution for atmospheric carbon reduction.
