Biochar Usage in Dairy Manure Composting

Graph showing ~10% increase in biochar vs non-biochar-containing compost pile temperatures over time

Co-composting dairy manure with SkyCarbon biochar In the Local Carbon Network, we convert available green waste into value-added ‘climate products’ such as electricity, heat, water and biochar through a carbon negative process that combats climate change on multiple fronts.
