In 2006, a small group of people came together with a simple but powerful belief: biochar could help fight climate change. At the time, few were paying attention. What started as a conversation turned into something bigger.

When did you first hear the word #biochar? Our co-founder Professor Stephen Joseph reminisces on the first time he *made* biochar, which was back in 1975. But they didn't call it biochar back then. Their kiln was made out of granite rocks, because that's what they had.

There’s no shortage of biochar trials. What’s missing? Shared learning. Across the sector, field trials are producing valuable data, but much of it remains isolated and hard to access. (Which makes it difficult to compare!) This slows progress for everyone.
