The ANZ Biochar Industry Group (ANZBIG) will facilitate and assist companies, governments and institutions in the effective use and production of Biochar.
Real impact happens when agriculture, infrastructure, energy and policy leaders work together around shared standards and clear regulatory pathways.
ANZBIG provides a neutral platform to coordinate this work and reduce fragmentation for government and industry.
For carbon markets and drawdown programs, accurate measurement, monitoring and verification are essential.
These foundations are critical to regulator confidence, public trust and the long-term credibility of carbon removal pathways.
🌀 Incorporating biochar can improve soil structure, water retention, nutrient management, and long-term resilience across broad-acre farms, horticultural areas, and public green spaces.

The way biochar is applied matters. ✅
Mix it evenly into soils, compost, or substrates to maximise benefits like nutrient retention, water-holding capacity, and microbial growth.
Proper application = better outcomes.
✨ Join ANZBIG and discover application best practices.
🔆 Biochar isn’t a short-term fix, certain biochars can lock carbon in soil for centuries or longer, helping remove CO₂ from the atmosphere in a durable, long-term way.
That makes it a powerful tool for climate mitigation and sustainable land use. 🌱

🥏 From broadacre agriculture to high-performance sports fields, biochar is helping land managers increase soil resilience, boost water retention, and support healthier plants.

Biochar is reshaping the built environment. 🌳
When added to concrete, asphalt, and composites, it improves strength, reduces overall weight, and contributes to significant emissions reduction, supporting industry decarbonisation while enhancing performance.
Season’s greetings from ANZBIG.
Biochar continues to play a growing role in supporting resilient systems across Australia and New Zealand.
Thank you for being part of the journey — we look forward to continuing the conversation in 2026. 🌱

😊 Biochar can help reduce methane emissions when applied to soils or organic waste streams.
Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, and even small reductions can have a significant climate impact.

🪵 Biochar's performance depends on feedstock, production temperature, and adherence to industry standards.
High-quality biochar delivers reliable outcomes for soil health, carbon removal, and sustainable applications in agriculture, infrastructure, and energy.
🔔 Adding biochar to animal bedding reduces odour, absorbs moisture, and captures nutrients.
When composted later, it creates a nutrient-rich soil enhancer. It’s a sustainable practice with multiple benefits; for livestock, land, and the environment.

Biochar’s porous structure helps soil absorb and store water for longer periods. 💧
In drought-prone areas, it keeps plants hydrated and reduces irrigation needs. This means healthier crops and better water efficiency.

🌀 The process is called pyrolysis, it transforms waste like wood chips, shells, or crop residues into a carbon-rich material.
Nothing is wasted, and emissions are dramatically reduced. It’s a simple process with powerful environmental benefits.

💯 Biochar improves soil health and crop yield.
When added to soil, biochar boosts water retention, nutrient availability, and microbial activity.
Healthier soils mean stronger crops and reduced need for fertilisers.
