help Biome Solutions FAQ
What does Biome Solutions do?
Biome Solutions focuses on carbon removal through biochar, a stable carbon-rich material made by heating biomass with limited oxygen. The biochar can be added to soil while storing part of the original biomass carbon.
How can biochar store carbon?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide while growing, and pyrolysis converts some of that biomass carbon into a more stable charcoal-like form. When properly managed in soil, that carbon can remain stored much longer than untreated plant matter.
Does biochar automatically improve every soil?
No. Effects depend on the feedstock, production process, soil type, climate, and application rate. Biochar can support water or nutrient management in some settings, but it should be tested rather than treated as a universal soil amendment.
Is biochar the same as planting trees for carbon removal?
No. Tree planting stores carbon in living biomass and soil, while biochar converts biomass into a more persistent carbon material. Biochar projects still need sustainable feedstock and careful accounting for transport, processing energy, and long-term storage.
