Biochar, it’s a technology that we’re all rediscovering
Biochar is a great balancing additive for many applications, and it’s great for the environment. Here at Oxford Biochar, we are experts in manufacturing Biochar for compost, soil enhancements, water filtration, animal feed and waste applications.
What will you use it for?
Scale Any Climate Solution
We Create Sustainable Agricultural and Waste Management through Biochar innovations.
What is it Biochar made from?
Any biomass material can be converted to Biochar. You can convert anything organic to biochar, even food waste.
How do you make Biochar
Biochar is made by heating material to 400+°C under the absence of oxygen. The process used is called pyrolysis.
The best carbon removal technology
Using only 1 ton of biochar removes 3.6 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere!
About Us
Created in 2019, Oxford Biochar manufactures its own biochar in the UK and with partners overseas
Our Biochar is created from clean biomass, and its source is certified by Grown In Britain (GiB) and the European Biochar Certification (EBC). It’s not mixed or enhanced with foreign materials so you can be confident it’s safe to use as animal feed and to grow food.
Carbon offsetting is achieved through its use in many applications where it locks the carbon into the ground or reduces the CO2 footprint by its use.
Our Biochar is made from clean biomass feedstock and is supplied for various applications..
Biochar Applications
- Farming / Agriculture
- Building materials
- Animal Feed
- Water Filtration
- Waste treatment
- Water retention in soils
Why our Biochar is World Class…
The best Biochar is created from clean biomass, carefully sourced. We don’t add mycorrhizae or add other chemicals, as soils harbour different species of microbes.
Our Biochar is 100% safe to be used in the livestock.
We control 100% of our processes, from feedstock sourcing to manufacture, storage, bagging and grading.
Above all, we don’t use feedstock unless it has been certified. We have plenty of experience and can supply orders of any size.
We can grade Biochar according to your specifications…we have access to large quantities of Biochar!
Circular in nature
Oxford Biochar has been committed to environmental targets so we hope you enjoy our products and join our circular economy.
During our Biochar making process, we re-circulate the harmful gases and burn them to reduce the fuel used which increases our efficiency. Wood Vinegar is created naturally.
Lets Collaborate
Oxford Biochar also provides consulting services around biomass energy, waste-to-energy, management segments, hydroponics and technical systems. We have experience in project studies, project management and technology evaluation.
Interest in the use of biochar in the agricultural space has increased exponentially during the past decade. Biochar, when applied to soils is reported to enhance soil carbon sequestration and provide other soil productivity benefits such as reduction of bulk density, enhancement of water-holding capacity and nutrient retention, stabilisation of soil organic matter, improvement of microbial activities, and heavy-metal sequestration.
Furthermore, biochar application could enhance phosphorus availability in highly weathered tropical soils.
Thus, biochar can contribute substantially to sustainable agriculture. While these benefits and opportunities look attractive, several problems, and bottlenecks remain to be addressed before widespread production and use of biochar becomes popular.
Nevertheless, available indications suggest that biochar could play a significant role in facing the challenges posed by climate change and threats to agro-ecosystem sustainability.
With vast expertise in various aspects of biomass energy, waste to energy and waste management projects, be it pyrolysis technology, gasification or recycling. We have been working with entrepreneurs, project developers, investors technology companies, researchers since 2019.

Starting a Biochar Business
The biochar market is experiencing significant growth, with some pundits referring to it as “black gold.” Valued at USD $600 million in 2023, the global biochar market is projected to grow to nearly $3.5 billion by 2025.
Choosing the right equipment
Selecting the right biochar equipment depends on feedstock, scale, budget, and efficiency. Small-scale users may prefer kilns, while larger operations need continuous pyrolysis systems. Consider energy use, emissions, and byproduct recovery for sustainability and profitability.
Carrying out LCA
Conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for biochar evaluates its environmental impact from production to end use. This includes feedstock sourcing, pyrolysis emissions, energy consumption, and benefits like carbon sequestration.
Creating customised Biochar
Creating biochar from various feedstocks involves selecting suitable materials like wood, crop residues, or manure and optimising pyrolysis conditions. Different feedstocks produce biochar with unique properties, affecting its applications. Proper processing ensures high-quality biochar for soil enhancement, carbon sequestration, or industrial use.
Certification Services
Biochar certification services ensure product quality, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Certifications assess factors like feedstock origin, production methods, carbon stability, and environmental impact. Recognised standards, such as EBC or IBI, enhance market credibility and support carbon credit eligibility.
Application Development
Developing Biochar applications involves researching its benefits for soil health, water filtration, and carbon sequestration. Tailoring biochar properties to specific uses, such as agriculture or industry, ensures maximum effectiveness.
