Biochar Systems Launcheswith the First North American Manufactured Mob ile Biochar Production System
Biochar Systems, LLC is a joint venture partnership that brings together two leaders in the
biochar industry, Biochar Engineering Corporation and EcoTechnologies Group, LLC
Berwyn, PA and Golden, CO, August 7, 2009 – Biochar Systems, a newly established
joint venture that partners with technology firms to deploy biochar production technology and biochar soil enhancements, announced today the commercial release of its first mobile biochar
production unit, the Biochar 1000.
“We are extremely excited to launch Biochar Systems which brings together two companies with
complementary skill sets and the shared mission to sustainably drive implementation of biochar
across the country and the planet,” said Steve Parker, Chief Executive Officer of
EcoTechnologies. “Our initial focus is on mobile units and a whole systems based, bioregionaldistribution model. Biochar Engineering Corporation’s Biochar 1000 equipment lets people bringthe technology to the green waste and make biochar for local use – all without the large carbon
footprint of centralized, mass production and shipping schemes.”
The commercial release of the Biochar 1000 launches a reactor that is rated for the production of
1,000 tons of biochar output per year at a cost of only $100,000 – substantially below similar systems coming to market in other countries. This makes the system affordable for farms, farm
co-ops, forest land management, universities, research centers, landscape companies, nursery
growers, and other businesses seeking an efficient, cost-effective technology to convert their
biomass waste to biochar.
The first two of these systems have been purchased by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for
use in conducting research on biochar’s benefits in mine reclamation. Also, the North CarolinaFarm Center for Innovation & Sustainability, which recently received a $1.2 million, three year
grant for biochar research, will feature the Biochar 1000 in a first-of-its-kind biochar
demonstration center under their management. This Center will be open for demonstration andeducational purposes.
“Our manufacturing facility and mobile pyrolysis technology will be featured at the International
Biochar Initiative’s first North American Biochar Conference in Boulder, Colorado on August9
th,” said Jim Fournier, Chief Executive Officer of Biochar Engineering Corporation. “It’s very
gratifying to see four years of research come together in a major milestone for the industry.
Biochar Engineering is delighted to be combining efforts with EcoTechnologies to maximize our positive impact on the planet.”
