Biochar for Concrete Mixtures
Biochar is a promising additive for concrete mixtures. Biochar can increase the strength and insulation of concrete while reducing the cement requirement.
Biochar may be added to concrete mixes to create a strong, and more carbon-neutral concrete, for a greener built environment.

Biochar interacts favourably with the chemical environment within forming concrete. The high porosity and moisture content of biochar allows the formation unique hydration products within its carbon network. The result is a stronger cement hydration and overall structure.
