Evergreen BioCarbon
Evergreen BioCarbon, also called Activated Biochar, is produced from clean, yellow pine biomass from the southeastern US and is composed of more than 80% fixed carbon. BioCarbon is very porous with abundant internal surface area and high adsorption capacity. BioCarbon has undetectable amounts of live microorganisms due to production temperatures of >800° C. Evergreen BioCarbon is also a USDA Certified Biobased Product, and it is derived from plant biomass that could otherwise be wasted in a landfill. BioCarbon also benefits the environment by reducing and sequestering greenhouse gasses.
Evergreen BioCarbon can be used as a sorbent for industrial contaminants or a soil amendment by municipalities, landscapers, and homeowners. As an agricultural amendment or remediation media, it can provide benefits to the soil for over 100 years as it resists decay. Since 2014, Evergreen BioCarbon has also been used as a biofiltration media and microbial substrate and sorbent in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted wastewater treatment facilities.
