KOOLBIOCHAR for the soil

Our biochar also grows things. Inspired by the fertile Amazonian Terra Preta, KOOLBIOCHAR is a soil additive — Synthetic Terra Preta — combining acacia biochar with composted organic residues. Developed in co-promotion with the Coimbra School of Agriculture (Polytechnic of Coimbra), under a European R&D project.

  • More organic matter, pH correction and nutrients in the soil
  • Higher water retention — less irrigation, less fertiliser
  • For pastures, vegetables, cereals and vineyards
  • From invasive-acacia control to soil fertility
