Unlike regular charcoal, biochar is engineered specifically for its role as a soil amendment and carbon sequestration agent, with a highly porous microstructure and high surface area that makes it one of the most versatile bio-based materials available.
When applied to agricultural soils, biochar acts as a long-term carbon sink — with residence times of 100–1,000 years in the soil — while simultaneously improving soil structure, water retention, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and microbial activity. This makes it uniquely valuable in India’s context, particularly for degraded soils in rain-fed agricultural regions like Bundelkhand, Vidarbha, and Rajasthan.
Beyond agriculture, industrial-grade biochar from Urja Mitra finds application in water treatment (as an adsorbent for heavy metals and organic pollutants), air purification, livestock feed supplementation (carbon supplement), and as a conductive carbon material in certain electronics and battery applications.
Urja Mitra offers biochar under two categories: agricultural-grade (lower carbon, certified for soil use) and industrial-grade (high fixed carbon, for non-agricultural uses). Buyers can request customized particle size specifications, and bulk supply contracts are available for large-scale agricultural input distributors and industrial users.
