We have translated years of research into CreChar® .

Carbogenics is a University of Edinburgh spinout transforming years of research into CreChar® – a specialist biochar that enhances Anaerobic Digestion. Backed by scientific and commercial expertise, we develop sustainable biochars for a range of industrial applications.

Anaerobic Digestion

The majority of Anaerobic Digestion plants suffer from low performance. CreChar can enhance AD efficiency.

Wastewater Treatment

Our CreChar® AD enhancer increases the performance of anaerobic sludge treatment.

Construction

It enhances material strength and can be mixed with various building materials to enhance properties.

Agriculture

We aim to ensure that any spent carbon products can be used as plant fertiliser and soil amender in accordance with a circular economy future policy.
