Production
Biochar is made during the process of heating biomass around 350-700 degrees Celsius for energy. The normal emissions include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen. These gases are trapped and used as a source of energy. The remaining material that is left is the biochar. There are two processes:

Gasification: Burn biomass with O2 present. The more O2, the more it burns, the less biochar produced. Biochar is produced best without O2 present.

Pyrolysis: Lack of O2. Traps syngas, which can be used to create electricity.
