Product Data – Biochar
Cortus Biochar is fine-grained and highly porous, enhancing soil’s ability to retain essential nutrients and water when mixed into the soil. Its porous structure also improves aeration and drainage, making the soil easier to cultivate. This allows plant roots to spread more easily, increases soil fertility, and creates ideal habitats for beneficial microorganisms.
Sustainable Production Process
Cortus Biochar is produced through oxygen-free combustion at 410°C using biomass from both coniferous and deciduous trees via pyrolysis. This process minimizes emissions, releasing little to no pollutants into the air.
A Long-Term Carbon Sink
Biochar is a highly stable material with a half-life of over 1,500 years. When incorporated into the soil, it acts as a carbon sink, locking atmospheric CO₂ into the ground and helping to combat climate change.
Climate-Positive and Soil-Enhancing
Adding biochar to soil is a climate-positive action, actively reducing atmospheric carbon while creating nutrient-rich, fertile soil where plants can thrive. By using Cortus Biochar, you contribute to a healthier planet while improving soil structure and productivity.

Carbon sink- C-sink Certificate
The describes the amount of CO₂ equivalent that biochar captures when used for soil improvement.
The carbon sink potential depends on its composition, specifically the of the biochar. Below, you can see the certificate for one of our biochar batches.
