We translate science into practical guidance
As biochar use scales in the United States, producers need reliable quality standards. End-users need performance data they can trust. Policymakers need knowledge that delivers economic contexts.
The American Biochar Institute (ABI) exists to meet these needs. We’re the neutral infrastructure that helps the industry function. Through standards development, technical assistance, and knowledge sharing, we provide the clarity that enables producers to build markets and buyers to procure with confidence.
This work matters because biochar’s value depends on quality and proper application. Without consistent standards and accessible expertise, good producers struggle to differentiate themselves and potential end-users face unnecessary risk.
