NextChar is one of the first US Companies in the US to manufacture and market biochar at an industrial scale using its proprietary pyrolysis technology designed specifically for the production of high quality biochar. Biochar is an all-natural, organic, carbon-based product made from wood and plant-based materials, which is used in agriculture, environmental remediation, filtration, and other applications. As a negative emissions technology, biochar production directly addresses climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Furthermore, biochar helps fight global food security issues by reducing agricultural water needs during drought and naturally increasing crop yields. The NextChar technology stores three tons of CO2 permanently (for the foreseeable future) for every five tons of dry biomass (wood, leaves, etc.) it processes.

Biodiversity for a Livable Climate brings you information about decades of scientific research and the practical experience of land managers around the world. We work to remedy the information gap in mainstream climate advocacy which tells us that virtually the only practical effective action we can take is to reduce fossil fuel emissions. There is another way. One foundational approach is Holistic Management as applied to billions of acres of grasslands worldwide, where soils have the potential to store enough carbon to reduce atmospheric carbon concentrations significantly. In addition, we are fully supportive of reforestation, ocean regeneration and other restorative endeavors, all of which return essential health, climate stability and diversity to the biosphere.
