Biochar can increase the SC Forestry industry by 2.3 BUSD in a number of ways. First, biochar can improve the soil quality in forests, which can lead to increased tree growth and yield. Second, biochar can help to reduce carbon emissions from the forestry industry. Third, biochar can be used to create new products and markets for forestry products.

Here are some specific examples of how biochar is being used to increase the SC Forestry industry:

• Soil improvement: Biochar is being used to improve the soil quality in forests by adding organic matter and nutrients. This can lead to increased tree growth and yield. For example, a study by the University of South Carolina found that biochar increased tree growth by 20% in a pine plantation. NOTE: There are also prof that peach trees also increase growth when Biochar are used.
• Other US based studies has shown that trees can improve their growth all the way up. to 25% without changing the density of the trunk of the tree.
• Carbon reduction: Biochar can help to reduce carbon emissions from the forestry industry by storing carbon in the soil. This can help to mitigate climate change and improve air quality. For example, a study by the US Forest Service found that biochar could reduce carbon emissions from the forestry industry by up to 10%. NOTE: a close collaboration between The Oaktree and Forestry will decrease the cost on both sides by up to 15% according to a study conducted by USDA..
• New products and markets: Biochar is being used to create new products and markets for forestry products. For example, biochar can be used to create biochar-based fertilizers, biochar-based soil amendments, and biochar-based building materials. These products can be sold to farmers, gardeners, and builders, which can create new revenue streams for the forestry industry.
