Biochar for construction and the building sector
Elevate your materials by reducing your carbon footprint
Cut costs while maintaining material quality. Biochar for construction is a renewable additive that improves energy efficiency, durability, and insulation—helping you build efficiently and affordably.
From bricks and plasters to enhanced insulation, Biochar construction products minimize reliance on expensive synthetic materials while enhancing thermal efficiency. This allows you to create superior materials while keeping costs down.

Some quick science: What makes biochar so unique?
Biochar is like a super sponge for construction materials. Its microscopic pores trap moisture and air, improving insulation and reducing energy loss. This also leads to stronger, longer-lasting materials that won’t deteriorate as quickly.
Biochar is lightweight, durable, and cost-effective. It reduces material costs by requiring less binder and improves material efficiency by replacing traditional additives. Furthermore, its carbon-negative properties make it an eco-friendly choice that absorbs carbon instead of releasing it.
The science is clear: Biochar as a construction material is a win-win, achieving carbon neutrality, durability, and cost savings.
How Do We Make Biochar?
Biochar is created through pyrolysis, a process that heats organic materials—such as wood, agricultural waste, or plant fibers—to 300°-800° Celsius in a low-oxygen environment. Unlike combustion, pyrolysis doesn’t rely on oxygen but instead uses prolonged heat exposure to break down biomass into a stable, carbon-rich material.
This method locks in carbon, creating
Biochar. This natural material can be used in construction to reduce emissions and enhance performance.
Using Biochar as a construction material can help you significantly improve thermal performance and reduce construction costs—all while actively reducing a building’s carbon footprint.
Reduce your carbon footprint with carbon-negative building materials
Your materials should exceed industry standards by enhancing construction sturdiness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
Biochar offers potential uses in construction for creating stronger, more efficient buildings.
Humidity regulation and air decontamination
Biochar naturally balances indoor humidity and absorbs harmful toxins in the air. This helps maintain a more comfortable and safe environment.
Protection against “electrosmog”
Biochar also helps absorb electromagnetic radiation found in buildings, reducing exposure to electrosmog. By incorporating Biochar into construction materials, it absorbs electrosmog, enhancing comfort for those sensitive to these fields.
Soil remediation for mines and heavy worksites
Biochar has a high pH and binds with harmful heavy metals, reducing their presence in soil affected by mining and industrial sites.
Pesticide-proof barriers
Biochar can also be used as a protective barrier against pesticide runoff, helping prevent soil contamination and harmful chemicals from leaching into the surrounding groundwater.
Water treatment and water aeration
Biochar filters contaminants out of water and can also improve water aeration. Its porous nature promotes healthier ecosystems in water bodies by supporting beneficial microorganisms and reducing harmful pollutants.
Supercharge your construction materials with Biochar
Supercharging your construction materials with Biochar enhances the quality of key building components while reducing environmental impact and costs.
Biochar Insulation
Thanks to its porous structure, Biochar effectively traps air and moisture, improving thermal performance. Improved insulation reduces heating and cooling costs. It also removes less eco-friendly additives from the building’s insulation.
Biochar-Clay Plaster
Lightweight and durable, Biochar enhances the strength and moisture retention of plaster, helping you create more sustainable and cost-effective finishes for walls and surfaces.
Biochar Bricks
Biochar amplifies each brick’s compressive strength while simultaneously reducing the weight of the materials, making bricks lighter and stronger.
