Tomato biochar

Can tomatoes turn into biochar and be a carbon store?🍅? Together with God Jord AS, we have tested biochar production of tomato stems in their KonTiki. Within a few hours, 18 boxes of dried tomato stems transformed into biochar. Watch the film and follow us to hear more about our experiences with using biochar made from tomatoes.

Did you know that 1 ton of biochar stores 3 tons of CO2? Biochar breaks down to a small extent and remains in the soil for thousands of years. A good climate measure!
