Biochar for Soil Stabilization: Stronger Ground, Stored Carbon
A biochar amendment for road subgrade, slope stabilization, and erosion control, engineered and lab tested to strengthen soil while locking away carbon.
Traditional Stabilizers Carry a Carbon Cost
Road subgrade preparation, slope stabilization, landfill cover systems, and erosion control projects all rely on a stabilizing agent, traditionally lime or cement, both carbon-intensive materials. Biochar offers a lower-carbon alternative backed by a growing body of geotechnical research, engineered and lab tested to your project’s soil conditions.
A Carbon-Negative Amendment Built for the Ground
Carbon-Negative Stabilization
Every ton of biochar used sequesters roughly 2.4 tons of CO2, permanently stored in the ground.
Integrates With Your Process
Blends into your existing subgrade prep or amendment process. We work with your team to confirm dosage and application for your specific soil conditions.
Support Where You Need It
Share your soil conditions and performance targets, and we’ll assist with application guidance and application testing.
Built to Hold
Biochar’s porous structure improves water retention and soil structure, strengthening resistance to erosion and settling.
From America’s Forests to Your Soil Mix
We’re utilizing America’s forests and the power of photosynthesis to pull carbon out of the atmosphere, then locking it in place in the ground.
Trees Capture It
As forests grow, trees pull CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store it as carbon in wood and biomass.
Our Process Stabilizes It
A proprietary process converts that biomass into biochar, locking the carbon into a stable form that won’t decompose or off-gas.
Soil Locks It In
Once blended in, that stabilized carbon stays sequestered in the ground, turning subgrade and earthworks into a carbon sink.
Built to Scale, Anywhere Ground Needs Stabilizing
Biochar is made from readily available biomass, forestry and agricultural residues found in nearly every region of the world. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates the U.S. alone can sustainably supply more than a billion tons of biomass a year. That same type of feedstock exists globally, which means production isn’t limited to a single country or supply chain, it can scale to millions of tons and be delivered into subgrade, slope, and erosion control projects wherever they’re built.
A Raw Material Partner, Not a Finished Product
We supply bulk biochar. You keep full control over your own amendment design and application.
Tailored Particle Size
Biochar is sized and processed to match your application, from subgrade amendment to slope or erosion control blends.
Consistent Supply
Quality-checked from bag to truckload, with sizing tailored to your geotechnical or earthworks specification.
Dosage & Application Testing
Our in-house lab works alongside your team to test dosage rates against your soil conditions and performance targets.
Common Questions From Engineers & Contractors
Can biochar stabilize road subgrade soils?
Yes. Biochar can improve subgrade strength and structure when blended into soil at the right dosage for your project and conditions.
Does it help with erosion control?
Yes. Biochar’s porous structure improves water retention and soil structure, which supports erosion control on slopes and exposed soil.
Does it require new equipment?
Typically no, it blends into your existing subgrade prep or soil treatment process. We test dosage and application together to confirm it fits your specific equipment and workflow.
Can you tailor it to my project?
Yes. Share your soil conditions and performance targets, and we’ll assist with application guidance and application testing. You keep control of the final specification.
