Water holding
Holds up to 5.6 times its weight in water that remains root-available, with almost no evaporative loss from the biochar itself.
Products & Applications
One material. Multiple high-value uses.
Georgia Wood Char biochar is produced for commercial performance — water retention, nutrient holding, soil structure, filtration, and durable carbon removal.
The product
What you receive with each order
Biochar produced slowly with little to no oxygen. The result is a stable, porous carbon material that can be used as a soil amendment or as a filtration media. During production, carbon is sequestered instead of released. Particle size options are available for different applications — see particle grades below, or download the classifications PDF.
Nutrient attraction
Attracts and holds nutrient molecules that become available to plant roots over time — supporting reduced fertilizer programs.
Structural integrity
Because we do not quench, the cellular structure is maintained. That architecture is what enables water storage, nutrient binding, and microbial habitat.
Long-term stability
One-time application characteristics. The material does not dissipate or lose its core water- and nutrient-gathering properties under normal use.

Commercial buyers
Buying from Georgia Wood Char
Georgia Wood Char sells commercial biochar to B2B buyers worldwide — physical product in one-cubic-yard bags, with insured carbon credits available sold direct. We produce in Commerce, Georgia, using licensed Biochar Now technology, from waste wood collected through arborists and municipalities.
Who this is for
- ✓ Turf and golf — courses and grounds teams specifying media for soil placement, top-dress, irrigation systems, and course water features
- ✓ Water and filtration — buyers using biochar as filter or water-quality media
- ✓ Agriculture and soil B2B — commercial soil blends, irrigation programs, and microbe-carrier uses
- ✓ Industrial — biofiller and related material applications where grade match matters

How to order
Use the contact form. There is no public price list — commercial quotes are scoped per grade, volume, destination, and timeline.
What to send sales (so we can quote fast)
Include as much of this as you can in the first email:
- Use case — turf/golf, water/filtration, soil/ag, industrial, or other
- Grade — Medium / Small / Powder / Dust (or “help me choose”)
- Volume — cubic yards (or bags) and whether this is a trial or ongoing
- Destination — country, city/port, and any delivery constraints
- Timing — when you need material on site
- Credits — physical product only, or product + insured credits
- Documents needed — Classifications PDF, golf/turf brief, lake/water reports, or other bid support (see Research)
Buyer FAQ
Short answers commercial buyers ask first. More detail is in the sections above and on Carbon Credits.
What do you sell?
Commercial biochar in four grades — Medium, Small, Powder, and Dust — plus insured carbon credits sold direct when you want them with the order.
What size bags?
Standard pack is 1 cubic yard bags.
Which grade do I need?
Match particle size to how you’ll apply it — soil and top-dress, irrigation or spray, or slurry and pigment uses. See particle grades, or say “help me choose” when you email sales.
Do you publish prices?
No public price list. Quotes are scoped by grade, volume, destination, and timeline. Contact sales.
What should I send sales?
Use case, grade (or help me choose), volume in cubic yards or bags, trial vs ongoing, destination, timing, and whether you want product only or product + insured credits.
Where are you, and can you ship?
We produce in Commerce, Georgia. Global shipping for commercial orders.
What’s your capacity?
About 40 cubic yards per day currently. We’re still below long-term planned capacity.
Can I buy carbon credits without a broker?
Yes. Insured credits (authenticity, permanence, exclusivity) sold direct. See Carbon Credits and the Insured Carbon Registry.
What happens next
Sales reviews commercial requests and follows up with availability, logistics notes, and clarifying questions so we can scope the right grade mix and volume. For studies not yet linked publicly, tell us which claim or application you need to support and we will prioritize what we can share.
Golf & Turf
Lower costs. Better playing surfaces.
Improving water quality. Conserving water. Building healthier turf. Premium biochar turf blends are used to reduce irrigation demand, cut fertilizer inputs, and improve density and resilience. Documented results include up to 50% water savings and significant biomass increases in controlled tests.
Biochar is a highly porous, carbon-rich material that acts like a microscopic sponge within the soil profile. Its structure helps golf courses improve water retention, reduce nutrient loss, enhance turf performance, and support cleaner ponds and water features.
Cleaner ponds
Adsorbs nutrients and contaminants from course water features — supporting clearer water, reduced excess nitrogen and phosphorus, and better pond aesthetics.
Stronger turf
Holds moisture in the root zone through every irrigation cycle, improving drought resilience and making better use of rainfall.
Sustainable results
A carbon-negative amendment that permanently sequesters carbon. Georgia Wood Char is an ISCC PLUS Certificate Holder.
- ✓ Up to 50% water savings; one California course example moved from 3 waterings/week to 1
- ✓ Reduced fertilizer / nutrient requirements (over 50% in some cases)
- ✓ One-time application — stable long-term
- ✓ Lab tests showed 110% biomass increase at 90 days
- ✓ Supports denser, more resilient turf
Key mechanism
Craggy surfaces in the root zone
Particles are typically top-dressed and watered into the profile. Their high-surface-area structure chambers water and nutrients where roots can access them between irrigation cycles — like millions of tiny underground storage tanks distributed through the soil.
Agriculture
Soil that holds more and feeds better
High-quality biochar improves aeration, provides habitat for beneficial microbes, and increases the soil’s capacity to hold water and nutrients. Independent trials have recorded substantial yield responses, including a reported ~300% increase in a spinach trial.
Water efficiency
Greater plant-available water between rainfall or irrigation events — valuable in drought-prone or high-cost water regions.
Nutrient efficiency
Reduced leaching and better retention of applied nutrients, supporting lower input programs over time.
Soil biology
Porous structure creates protected niches for microbial communities that support plant health.
Water Quality & Stormwater
Capture nutrients and heavy metals
Biochar’s surface chemistry and structure make it effective at binding phosphorus, nitrogen forms, and heavy metals from water. Independent lab summaries show very high adsorption percentages for key nutrients. Material can be used in filters or as a soil/filter media amendment.
| Nutrient | Form | Starting (mg/L) | % Adsorbed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phosphorus | Non-soluble P | 27 | 99.9% |
| Phosphorus | P | 27 | 99.8% |
| Phosphate | PO4-P | 284 | 86.6% |
| Ammonia | N | 1.1 | 89.7% |
| Nitrate | NO3-N | 52 | 64.3% |
