General Biochar Benefits

Biochar has numerous benefits for a wide range of industries. From improved water retention to higher crop yields, learn more about what biochar can do here!

Improved water retention

Plants and ecosystems need water to thrive. One problem is that modern compacted soil dries out so quickly that the crops can’t get all the water they need before it dries out. Biochar helps the soil hold water longer while aggregating soil, thus improving water retention.

Better nutrient uptake

Numerous studies have shown that biochar helps soil with nutrient uptake, including nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and iron. This may reduce the need for fertilizers while maximizing yields.

Reduced soil acidity

Biochar can help raise soil pH levels depending on the current soil conditions. Healthier soil leads to healthier plants, making biochar a great soil amendment!

Higher crop yields

When you’re growing crops, you want the highest possible yields. Biochar can help with that! Not only does it help improve crop yields, but it may allow you to reduce the use of fertilizers.

Stable carbon storage

Biochar is leading the charge if you’re looking for an environmentally friendly solution to your soil and crop problems. It can store carbon for centuries, providing an environmentally friendly and stable carbon sequestration solution.

BIOCHAR BENEFITS FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS

Biochar has tons of general benefits for various applications, but there are also a few specific industries that biochar offers even more benefits for. These benefits aren’t always readily apparent, but because of biochar's unique nature and versatility, there are tons of potential uses.

  • STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

    Between biochar’s ability to improve water retention and improve soil quality, it comes as no surprise that biochar is a valuable tool for stormwater management. Biochar helps the surrounding soils hold more water without degrading, helping prevent flooding and other dangerous stormwater conditions.

  • Livestock and Dairy Production

    When you think of biochar, you probably think of a soil amendment. And while there’s good reason for that, biochar also offers numerous benefits to livestock. Biochar can act as a barn dry or bedding amendment, reducing moisture and smell, and making that material a more valuable soil amendment.


  • Poultry Production

    Not only is biochar an excellent production aid for larger livestock, but it’s also a great choice for poultry. Adding biochar into your poultry bedding helps reduce moisture and ammonia improving bird growth, egg development, blood conditions, and overall immune health.


  • Home Gardening

    You don’t need to be a commercial farmer to reap the benefits of biochar. There are plenty of benefits for small-scale home gardens. You can get all the same benefits that larger farmers get, you just need to purchase a smaller amount of biochar for your smaller home garden.


Why Do I Need Biochar?

Biochar has numerous benefits and a wide range of applications, so why you need biochar really depends on what industry you’re in and what you’re looking for. If you’re an at-home gardener, biochar will help improve crop yields, reduce fertilizer needs, and can even help with a healthier lawn.


If you’re in construction, biochar can lower your company's carbon footprint, and if you’re raising chickens or other livestock, biochar can help reduce ammonia levels in the soil, improve bedding compost, and keep an animal's bedding dry.

Does biochar have any negative effects?

While biochar offers numerous benefits for various industries, it’s natural to question why it isn’t a mainstay that every business and industry uses. There are a few different reasons for this, starting with the upfront cost of biochar.


While biochar more than pays for itself in the long term, unlocking the full benefits takes time. Because of this, the upfront cost can act as a deterrent for many industries. However, once you fully unlock the benefits, it’s easy to see why it continues growing in popularity! 


One final drawback to biochar is that there are no official regulations in the industry. Because of this, it’s critical to find a supplier that ensures you only get the highest-quality biochar. At Metzler Biochar, we maintain the highest standards for all the products we produce.
