Biochar

Biochar is a type of charcoal created by heating organic waste materials, like wood, crop residues, or manure, in a low-oxygen environment. This process, called pyrolysis, locks carbon into a stable form, preventing it from releasing back into the atmosphere. Biochar can then be added to soil to improve its fertility, help retain water, and capture carbon, making it a useful tool for both agriculture and carbon sequestration.
