The International Biochar Initiative (IBI) is a great source for information on research and the development of biochar businesses and industry.

They recently did testing and certified our Local Carbon Network SkyCarbon biochar, the results of this analysis are shown here. This, along with OMRI certification now allows SkyCarbon to be used in certified organic farming.

We’ve spun off the continue reading…
