Biochar, one of the most versatile materials and and one of the solution to global warming.
Biochar can be made from a variety of organic materials through a process called pyrolysis, which involves heating the biomass in the absence of oxygen. Besides producing Biochar of high quality, and porosity, is to continuously measure to ensure that the char is PFAS-free, something The Oaktree does. This is to make sure that our customers can feel safe using our Biochar.
Agriculture
The Oaktree also inoculates Biochar with various microbes and mycorrhizal fungi to improve the quality further. This char is only sold via our partner network since it demands knowledge of the local circumstances. The inoculation enables the char to capture even more carbon dioxide, as well as other nutrients that the plants need to produce high-quality yields.
Cosmetics
In the context of cosmetics, biochar is sometimes used as an ingredient in skincare and beauty products. Its porous structure and high surface area make it useful for adsorbing impurities, excess oil, and toxins from the skin.
MedTech
Biochar can be utilized as a carrier material for drug delivery systems. Its high surface area and adsorption capabilities can be harnessed to load and release drugs in a controlled manner. Biochar-based drug delivery systems have been explored for applications such as targeted cancer therapy and wound healing.
Concrete
Biochar can be used as an additive in concrete production, offering potential benefits both in terms of sustainability and material properties.
The Oaktree has partners in these industries, but since we know that Biochar can be used in more areas, please contact The Oaktree’s experts,
