OMRI Listing certifies American BioCarbon's biochar stringent organic production standards
American BioCarbon, a leading producer of biochar for agricultural use and carbon sequestration, announced its successful attainment of Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) Listing for its flagship biochar product. This milestone represents a significant achievement which underscores the company's commitment to organic and environmentally responsible agricultural technologies.
American BioCarbon’s 100% biochar soil enhancer for healthy growth and carbon capture was listed by OMRI for crop fertilizers and soil amendments for organic use. The certification process involves a comprehensive evaluation of the product's ingredients, manufacturing processes, and environmental impact.
American BioCarbon uses its patented Biomass Separation Unit combined with a proprietary pyrolysis process, to transform bagasse, a byproduct of sugar cane processing, into biochar. The unique properties of bagasse feedstock, an agricultural waste, coupled with American BioCarbon’s proprietary net-zero manufacturing process creates higher quality products more efficiently. By turning a waste material into a next-generation soil amendment and carbon capture solution, American BioCarbon eliminates an environmental liability while simultaneously removing carbon.
Bagasse biochar is a nutrient-rich soil amendment that dramatically improves agricultural productivity. Its porous, carbon-rich composition enhances soil components, allowing biochar to reduce compaction, support plant growth, and offer a sustainable approach to increasing crop yields while mitigating challenges in modern land management practices.
Key soil benefits of American BioCarbon's OMRI Listed bagasse biochar include:
- Enhanced soil fertility and structure
- Neutralized soil acidity
- Improved water retention capabilities
- Increased carbon sequestration potential
- Support for beneficial microbial activity in soil ecosystems
The OMRI Listing validates that American BioCarbon's biochar meets stringent organic production standards, enabling farmers and agricultural professionals to incorporate the product into certified organic crop production systems.
