Biochar refers to the solid (charcoal) obtained from biomass such as wood through pyrolysis in an environment with low oxygen (O2). Burial of biochar in agricultural land leads to the long-term sequestration of carbon that plants have fixed from atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through photosynthesis, effectively isolating it from the atmosphere. This carbon storage contributes to a reduction in the total amount of carbon cycling on the Earth's surface, which in turn helps reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Additionally, the porous structure of biochar is expected to improve soil water retention and permeability, enhance nutrient retention, promote soil neutralization, foster soil aggregate structure, and support the proliferation of soil microorganisms (habitats). This results in beneficial microorganisms thriving in the soil, leading to the development of crop root hairs. It enhances resistance and prevention against diseases and pests, contributes to increased productivity, and helps prevent issues related to continuous cropping. 【Expected Effects】 ■ Reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) ■ Improvement of soil water retention and permeability, enhancement of nutrient retention ■ Soil neutralization and promotion of aggregate structure ■ Proliferation of soil microorganisms (habitats) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In Japan, it has been used as a soil amendment for a long time. The porous structure of biochar is expected to improve soil moisture retention and permeability, enhance nutrient retention, neutralize soil, promote soil aggregation, and support the proliferation of soil microorganisms (habitat). These effects lead to the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms in the soil for crops, and the development of fine roots in crops. This can enhance resistance and prevention against diseases and pests, contribute to increased productivity, and help prevent continuous cropping issues. 【Expected Effects】 ■ Improvement of soil moisture retention and permeability ■ Enhancement of nutrient retention ■ Neutralizing effect on soil ■ Promotion of soil aggregation ■ Proliferation of soil microorganisms (habitat) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The carbon cycle is the concept that carbon circulates in various forms, such as becoming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or being part of biomass like plants and animals, continuously moving around the Earth's surface. Increasing plants, such as forests, temporarily absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) and fixes carbon, which can lead to a reduction in the total amount of carbon in the atmosphere. However, plants eventually decompose through processes like rotting or burning, releasing CO2 again, making it difficult to sustainably reduce the total amount of carbon on the Earth's surface. In "carbon sequestration," plants that have absorbed CO2 are converted into charcoal (biochar) and buried underground, permanently reducing the total amount of carbon on the Earth's surface. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

The reduction of carbon dioxide through biochar involves incorporating biochar into farmland for carbon storage. Additionally, the amount of carbon dioxide reduction can be easily calculated by measuring the weight or volume of the biochar. The Japan Cool Veggie Association certifies vegetables grown in farmland with a certain amount of biochar as "Cool Veggie," contributing to the global challenge of preventing global warming, transcending regional boundaries. By attaching regional names or crop names, the brand has strong appeal to local producers and discerning consumers, enhancing its impact on society. 【Features】 ■ Vegetables grown in farmland with a certain amount of biochar ■ Designed to create brands that utilize the characteristics of each region and crop ■ Can include the name of the region or local crops ■ Strong appeal to local producers and discerning consumers *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Biochar refers to the solid (charcoal) obtained from biomass such as wood through pyrolysis in an environment with low oxygen (O2). The soil retention period of the carbon (C) contained in biochar is considered to be between 100 years and several thousand years, depending on factors such as the temperature during pyrolysis. Generally, the carbon fixation period for planted trees is said to be about 60 years. Burying biochar in agricultural land allows the carbon that plants have absorbed from the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) through photosynthesis to be sequestered from the atmosphere for a longer period. This carbon sequestration contributes to a reduction in the total amount of carbon cycling on the Earth's surface, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

"Water Quality Purification Charcoal" is a product made from coniferous and broadleaf trees, shaped and carbonized at high temperatures (1000°C or higher) to produce white charcoal. It features over 90% fixed carbon, has a heavy specific gravity, and easily sinks in water. Soluble substances in water are adsorbed, and a microbial film that forms on the surface of the charcoal decomposes organic matter in the water, purifying water in rivers, lakes, and ponds. [Features] ■ Over 90% fixed carbon, heavy specific gravity, and easily sinks in water ■ Decomposes organic matter in water, purifying water in rivers, lakes, and ponds ■ Usage period: Purification effectiveness lasts about six months to one year (depending on various water quality conditions) ■ Usage amount standard: Approximately 5kg to 50kg per 1m³ of water (depending on water quality and other conditions) ■ Approximately 300kg of sawdust charcoal per 1m³ *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Carbon for Agricultural Livestock" contains a few percent of inorganic components, particularly high in calcium, which makes the eggshells harder and reduces cracking. Due to its weak alkaline nature with a pH around 8, it transforms the acidic constitution of livestock to alkaline, reducing the adhesion of unnecessary fats. Additionally, by making the egg quality alkaline, freshness improves and the egg yolk becomes firmer. 【Features】 ■ Weak alkaline with a pH around 8, reducing the adhesion of unnecessary fats ■ Improved freshness and firmer egg yolk ■ Harder eggshells with fewer cracks ■ Large internal surface area of 300-400 m²/g ■ Reduced odor from excreted feces and urine *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
