A short description of what we do, why, and how we do it - with biochar and compost.

We have a very BIG problem…
That does NOT have a very big solution…

Instead, we have trillions and trillions of very, VERY small
solutions…
They are called microorganisms

Microorganisms like to live in dark, wet, and warm places. The
kind of wet, warm places you find in a good compost pile.
Biochar is charcoal derived from biomass waste. The
molecular structure of biochar creates a vast number of
cavities, as you can see in the photo of rubber tree biochar
used in the background of this presentation.

Circle Carbon Labs makes biochar, mixes the biochar with
compost (and other macro- and micro nutrients) to colonize
the biochar with microorganisms, and uses the biochar
compost to help farmers grow trees, vegetables, and fruits,
organically.
Growing trees, fruits, and vegetables like this has many
advantages...

Making compost is a very good way to manage organic
waste residues and retain nutrients in our food cycle.
Making biochar is a very good way to sequester carbon
from the atmosphere by putting it in the soil, where it
belongs, and stays for thousands of years.
Using Circle Carbon Labs Biochar Compost enriches the
soil by creating ideal habitats for microorganisms, the
catalysts for nutrient exchange between the soil and the
plants.
BIOCHAR + COMPOST = MICROORGANISMS
MICROORGANISMS = HEALTHY SOIL
HEALTHY SOIL = HEALTHY PEOPLE + HEALTHY PLANET

Benefits of biochar:
1. Soil Health - increased microbial activity & water
retention
2. Climate Stability - reduced net carbon footprint
3. Water Use - through cleaner and more efficient use
4. Waste Avoidance - through better use of biomass
waste
5. Food Security - increased production and quality
6. Energy Security - CHP* from biochar production
7. Community Health - investing in our communities
* CHP - Combined Heat and Power systems

To summarize, at Circle Carbon Labs we make biochar, mix it
with compost (and other macro- and micro nutrients) and help
farmers grow better trees, fruits, and vegetables, organically.
We consult, demonstrate and offer our services to convert
biomass to biochar with our mobile kiln or at our Circle
Carbon Labs production/demonstration/educational site.
We do this at the government and institutional level, for small
and medium businesses and farms, for home owners and
land owners,
creating healthy environments for a healthy planet.

Beyond a Zero Carbon Footprint
Converting biomass waste to valuable resources, growing
microclimates for more climate resilient and economically self-
sufficient communities.
Carbon Negative = Planet Positive
