Enrich your Soil with Premium Biochar

Biochar made from agricultural wastes improves soil fertility and helps in the fight against climate change, benefitting both the planet and the farmers who grow our food.

What is Biochar?

Biochar is a high-carbon, charcoal-like substance produced by heating organic waste materials, such as agricultural residues, in a low-oxygen environment—a process known as pyrolysis. This ancient yet innovative material not only sequesters carbon for centuries but also enhances soil fertility, making it a powerful tool for both climate action and sustainable agriculture.

At Releaf Earth, we leverage Africa’s vast agricultural biomass to produce high-quality biochar that serves multiple purposes—carbon sequestration, soil regeneration, and ecosystem restoration. Our approach ensures that biochar is produced efficiently and sustainably, using decentralized production methods that require minimal infrastructure and energy.

Removing Carbon and improving yields

Why Biochar Matters

Africa has an abundance of agricultural waste that, if left unused, contributes to environmental degradation. By converting this biomass into biochar, we create a win-win solution: removing carbon from the atmosphere while improving soil health and boosting crop yields for smallholder farmers.

  • Carbon Removal: Locks carbon in a stable form for hundreds to thousands of years, helping to mitigate climate change.
  • Soil Health & Fertility: Enhances soil structure, retains moisture, and improves nutrient availability, leading to better crop productivity.
  • Waste Reduction: Converts agricultural residues into a valuable resource instead of allowing them to rot or be burned.
  • Sustainable Development: Creates economic opportunities in rural communities while promoting regenerative agriculture.

How Biochar is making an impact

Localized Production

We source biomass from smallholder farmers and agro-processors, creating decentralized biochar production hubs that support local economies.

Renewable Energy Powered

Our biochar production utilizes small solar kits, making the process energy-independent and environmentally friendly.

Local industrial jobs

Industrial-scale biochar production has created more well-paying jobs, boosting economic opportunities in rural communities.

Carbon Credit Generation

Our biochar projects contribute to high-quality carbon credit markets, allowing companies and individuals to offset their emissions through meaningful climate action.

Did you know?

Biochar represented 94% of  2023 carbon removals. It is the most immediately scalable technology to solve global warming

Why Our Biochar is Top-Quality

At Releaf Earth, we don’t just produce biochar — we engineer it for impact.
Our biochar is crafted from clean agricultural waste using controlled pyrolysis to ensure high carbon content, low impurities, and powerful soil-enhancing properties. Every batch is tested to meet the standards required for premium agricultural use and durable carbon removal.

What sets our biochar apart?

Rich in Stable Carbon

With over 80% fixed carbon, our biochar locks away carbon for centuries — making it ideal for climate-positive applications.

Highly Porous Structure

Excellent surface area improves soil water retention, aeration, and microbial activity.

Safe and Pure

We use clean, traceable feedstock and maintain low levels of heavy metals and volatile organic compounds

pH-Balanced and Nutrient-Ready

Alkaline pH helps rebalance acidic soils and boost crop productivity

Precision Engineered

Consistent particle size and moisture control for optimal use in soil, compost, or biochar blends.

Whether you're a farmer, climate project, or sustainability partner — our biochar delivers performance you can trust.
