Discovering Biochar with Sustaincore ?
**What is biochar?**
Biochar is derived from various renewable organic materials. At Sustaincore, we use agricultural residues as feedstock, such as coffee or cocoa husks and shells, sugarcane bagasse, coconut shells and fibers, peanut or cashew shells, and palm empty bunches.
Through a process called pyrolysis, where intense heating in the absence of oxygen breaks down complex molecular chains, we create a stable and solid product—biochar. ?
While biochar has numerous uses, we focus on its agricultural benefits, mixing it with topsoil to enhance soil quality and fertility. ?
The biochar production process generates substantial renewable energy in the form of gases and heat. At Sustaincore, we recover this energy for our use and supply local partners with the excess, whether as electricity or heat. ??
