Description

Carbon Cycle is an innovative, privately owned agricultural company based in south-eastern Germany. The company's goal is to produce high-quality biochar, which offers solutions to modern agriculture problems. The product has many benefits; the loss of nutrients and nitrate leaching is reduced, the use of fertilizers is considerably reduced, groundwater is protected, and soil fertility is sustainably improved. The production of one ton of high-quality biochar results in 2.86 tonnes of harmful carbon dioxide becoming firmly bound for centuries enabling the responsible farmer to make an important contribution to climate and environmental protection. Carbon Cycle sells its biochar to the farming industry in several EU countries. The biochar has been approved as a soil additive and as animal feed. Carbon Cycle holds the European certificate of sustainably produced biochar (EBC). The cascade usage of biochar in agriculture begins with the feeding of ÖKO FEED biochar and ÖKO TERR for the litter. Animal health and welfare are improved, and the biochar becomes loaded with liquid manure, which becomes a valuable natural fertilizer when applied to the soil. Untreated wood chips locally sourced from PEFC certified forests are used as feedstock for the biochar. Each tonne of biochar sequesters 2.86 tonnes of CO2. Using the O-molar ratio from the product analysis, the carbon content's stability can be accurately measured. Carbon Cycle has been issued with CORC's by the Puro marketplace in accordance with the strict Puro methodology for biochar production. All lifecycle emissions are considered. The facility and certifications have been third-party verified ex-post.
