Our Product - CreChar®

What is CreChar®?

Our flagship product CreChar® is a functional and sustainable carbon material known as biochar, with numerous applications in industry and agriculture. Biochar is produced by heating biomass to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This process removes water and other volatile constituents from the biomass, leaving behind solid carbon-rich biochar. The carbon in biochar is highly stable and can endure in soil for hundreds or thousands of years without being degraded. Biochar is very porous and has a high number of functional groups on its surface. 

These properties make it a uniquely versatile carbon material that is suitable for many applications, including as an adsorbent for environmental pollutants or as a catalyst for chemical reactions.

Why CreChar® is special?

Most biochars are made from virgin materials such as wood. This places additional strain on resources that are already limited. 

Turning Secondary Biomass into a Waste-Free Circular Solution

In contrast, we produce CreChar® from selected secondary biomass which would otherwise go to landfills or be sent for incineration. Using these materials to make CreChar® instead is in full accordance with a waste-free circular economy future policy. 

A Leader in Carbon Upcycling

This unique approach has allowed Carbogenics to become a leader in carbon upcycling, helping to build a greener, cleaner world for everyone.

How CreChar®
is made

CreChar® is created through a controlled thermal process that converts secondary biomass into a stable, carbon-rich biochar without combustion.

Source secondary biomass

We start with secondary biomass that would otherwise be sent to landfill or incineration—both major sources of CO₂ emissions.

Pyrolysis (heating without oxygen)

The biomass is heated in the absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. This prevents combustion and allows controlled transformation.

Creation of carbon-rich biochar

Pyrolysis converts the biomass into CreChar®—a highly carbon-rich, stable biochar—while also producing syngas and usable heat.

Carbon is permanently locked in

The carbon captured in CreChar® is chemically stable and resistant to microbial breakdown, meaning it remains stored rather than returning to the atmosphere.

Long-term carbon sequestration

Because of its stability, CreChar® can safely sequester carbon for hundreds to thousands of years, delivering lasting environmental benefits.

Unique benefits of CreChar®

Innovative

CreChar® was developed by Carbogenics’ team of experienced scientists, who specialise in translating years of cutting-edge research into innovative and sustainable carbon materials

Functional

CreChar® is a game-changer for the anaerobic digestion and wastewater treatment industries. By improving the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process, it allows operators to maximise biogas production while reducing feedstock costs.

Sustainable

CreChar® is made from difficult-to-recycle paper waste, secondary biomass and other materials, which would otherwise go to landfills or for incineration. Thereby it helps to build a circular economy and a more sustainable future for everyone.

Versatile

CreChar® has many applications in industry and agriculture in addition to improving anaerobic digestion and wastewater treatment efficiency. It can be used as a plant fertiliser, for soil amendment and remediation, and for carbon sequestration and storage.
