Full Circle Biochar is the Virgin Earth Challenge finalist, as a Virgin Pioneer for an innovative approach to carbon drawdown. The company is one of 11 Virgin Pioneers, all with the potential to have a long-term impact on the number of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Virgin recognizes and supports Full Circle Biochar’s efforts to scale up its efforts to harness existing carbon stocks to deliver proven biochar products with both agricultural and environmental benefits.

Full Circle Biochar has taken a unique “platform” approach to biochar development and deployment that is customized for specific feedstocks. Our platforms utilize proprietary pyrolysis and post-pyrolysis strategies that deliver standardized and stabilized biochar products, proven energy outputs, and carbon credit protocols.
Full Circle Biochar’s platform strategy effectively mitigates technical, financial and operational risk. Biochars are produced at scale with proven agricultural benefits and documented carbon storage and drawdown impacts that close the carbon cycle.
Full Circle Biochar works with nature to draw down carbon. We are harnessing abundant carbon stocks and scarce nutrient resources to deliver proven biochar products with both agricultural and environmental benefits. Full Circle has developed a system for producing proprietary biochar products that are scalable and profitable in major agricultural markets around the globe.

Full Circle Biochar recognized as a Virgin Pioneer for innovative approach to carbon drawdown
Full Circle Biochar is honored to be named a Virgin Pioneer as part of the Virgin Earth Challenge.
Full Circle Biochar is one of 11 Virgin Pioneers, all with the potential to have long-term impact on the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Full Circle Biochar focuses on creating and using biochar, a stable, carbon-rich product of the thermal decomposition of biomass heated in a low-oxygen environment. Full Circle’s biochar is made from what may otherwise be considered waste – for example, wood leftover from logging operations or livestock manure. If that biomass was left to decompose, it would release CO2 back into the atmosphere. When it’s turned into biochar, the carbon is locked inside. The biochar has been proven beneficial across a wide range of applications, including agriculture and horticulture, soil restoration and water management.
Biochar has the potential to draw down hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. However, not all biochar is created equal, and Full Circle Biochar has taken a unique “platform” approach to biochar development and deployment that is customized for specific types of biomass feedstocks. Our platforms utilize proprietary strategies that deliver standardized biochar products, along with energy outputs from biochar production. Our patent-pending BioCoreTM and BioChargeTM technologies are tailored for the needs of large-scale agricultural markets.
Full Circle Biochar has designed, manufactured and is deploying a best-in-class product development kiln to make biochar that will significantly advance the science and engineering of biochar. Full Circle Biochar has partnered with leading biochar research institutions at Cornell and Edinburgh universities as well as the global agricultural bank network for Rabobank to accelerate the deployment of biochars into global agricultural markets.
Full Circle Biochar is a leading clean-tech company that is making carbon dioxide drawdown into a high-value industry. Biochar is in the vanguard of a suite of technologies that target global soil restoration, decouple tropical deforestation from sugar cane, palm, and soy production, and dramatically reduce the amount of water global agriculture uses. Agriculture uses 75% of all water. Reducing that number by 10% would provide enough water for all other uses of water on the planet.
Virgin is recognizing and supporting Full Circle Biochar’s efforts to scale up its efforts to harness existing carbon stocks to deliver proven biochar products with both agricultural and environmental benefits.
Full Circle Biochar was founded in 2007 in San Francisco. A team of international experts in the fields of technology, climate change, and soil science comprises Full Circle Biochar. While Full Circle Biochar is based in San Francisco, our team is national and international, with core team members in San Francisco and Ithaca, NY, as well as Europe.

What is biochar?
Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich product of pyrolysis, a process in which biomass is heated in a low-oxygen environment. This process results in energy from heat, syn-gas that can be used as fuel, and biochar, a charcoal-like substance. Biochar can be made from a range of biomass feedstocks, including wood and agricultural waste.
Biochar is carbon negative because if biomass is left to decompose, it releases CO2 back into the atmosphere. However, when it’s turned into biochar, the carbon is locked inside, and biochar can take thousands of years to break down. Ancient Amazonians used biochar in their fields, making otherwise unusable land fertile enough for agriculture, and the biochar can still be found in the soils today.
Full Circle Biochar develops best-in-class commercial biochar products. The company's patent-pending BioCore™ and BioCharge™ technologies tailor the needs of large-scale agricultural markets. The company focuses on waste management, climate change, food security, energy security, and water security.
