Biochar from Oplandske is certified from European Biochar Certificate, as the first Norwegian producer. Our biochar is classified as "EBC grade feedchar", which has the highest standards for quality and characteristics.
Biochar improve your soil health and can increase your yield. Our char improve soil porosity, boost soil life, and function as a buffer for water and nutrients in the soil. Hence, biochar is an excellent additive to agricultural fertilixer.
Obio Biochar consist of >90% carbon, and is the easiest method to increase soil carbon. Additionally, it decreases emissions of nitrous oxide, the third most important agricultural greenhouse gas.
Farm animals eat large volumes of feed every day, which often can lead to digestal problems and diarrhea. Biochar helps the animals regulate gut digestion and results in more solid manure. This again improves animal welfare and provide calmer animals.
Biochar is not broken down as it passes through the animal's digestive system. The char increase value of the fertilizer, as it charges with nutrients and decrease loss through the digestion.
There are several studies indicating that biochar may reduce the methane emissions from cows, sheep, and goats. This is not yet scientifically proven, but scientists are working thoroughly with the hypothesis.
Biochar help cities improve planth growth in dense areas and reduce urban floods. In drought periods, biochar provide trees and green infrastructure with water stored in the structure of the biochar. Biochar helps cities reach their goals towards climate neutrality with its high content of carbon and storage stability.
