A carbon-rich, charcoal-like substance produced through pyrolysis (thermal decomposition in a low-oxygen environment) of organic waste materials such as crop residues, wood and agricultural byproducts. Biochar acts as a carbon removal method by stabilising CO₂ in a solid form, preventing its release into the atmosphere. It is widely researched for its potential in carbon sequestration, soil enhancement and sustainable agriculture.
