Biochar is organic biomass used as a soil amendment. Biochar is a stable solid, rich in carbon, and can endure in soil for thousands of years. Like most coconut, biochar is made from biomass via pyrolysis. Biochar is under investigation as an approach to carbon sequestration. Biochar thus has the potential to help mitigate climate change via carbon sequestration. Independently, biochar can increase soil fertility of acidic soils (low pH soils), increase agricultural productivity, and provide protection against some foliar and soil-borne diseases.
