Research
Technical summaries and partner research that support water holding, nutrient adsorption, turf performance, and water-quality applications. Additional materials will be added as they are cleared for public use.
Featured resources
The materials below draw on Biochar Now’s published research (used with permission under our license relationship) and independent lake-management evaluations that examined biochar filter performance.
Water savings (up to 50%+), nutrient reduction, one-time application characteristics, biomass response, and application guidance for turf systems. Includes independent nutrient-adsorption table and 5.6× water-holding capacity data.
Restorative Lake Sciences report: water quality data, sediment and vegetation context, and recommendations including biochar for nutrient management in a Michigan lake system.
Restorative Lake Sciences annual report documenting biochar filter deployments on docks, boats, and drains; observed reductions in total phosphorus and suspended solids; approximately 1.4 tons of phosphorus removed in the 2023 season from harvested filters.
Tabulated results for phosphorus (up to 99.8–99.9%), phosphate, ammonia, and nitrate adsorption from water using Biochar Now material. Water holding capacity stated at 5.6 × biochar weight.
Library note
Georgia Wood Char is actively organizing additional white papers, trial data, and application notes. The site is designed so new documents can be added easily. If you need a specific study or particle-size chart for a bid or specification, contact sales and we will prioritize what we can share.
Tell us which application or claim you need to support and we will point you to the strongest available material or arrange a technical call.
