What is Biochar?
A carbon-rich soil amendment, biochar is charcoal made from biomass waste under low-oxygen heating that improves soil health, boosts water and nutrient retention, supports beneficial microbes, aids contaminant remediation, and locks away stable carbon long term.
Our Mission
Prairie Biochar advances practical biochar solutions by transforming recycled plant materials into stable carbon products that support soil health, water management, and land restoration. Based in Oklahoma, Prairie Biochar is developing regional production capacity to serve agricultural producers, land managers, and industry partners while strengthening sustainable resource use across the region and beyond.
Built for Agriculture
Prairie Biochar is being developed primarily to serve farmers and ranchers across Oklahoma and the Southern Plains. Biochar can support improved soil structure, water retention, and nutrient efficiency in agricultural soils.
Industry Applications
Biochar also has potential uses in several environmental and industrial applications including:
- water filtration
- land reclamation
- oil and gas well site remediation
- land restoration
- construction materials
- concrete roadways
