Biochar’s porous nature and extensive surface area provide lightweight attributes and effective humidity absorption, countering urban heat impacts. Its production involves finely grinding biochar, blending it with sand concrete, and precisely mixing water to form composite blocks, adhering to circular economy principles.

The primary goal is to create a sustainable material system using biochar cementitious composites, significantly cutting the carbon footprint of structural building elements. By repurposing biochar, a byproduct of biomass pyrolysis, as a cement substitute in concrete, it not only sequesters carbon but also reduces overall cement usage. This approach targets substantial energy savings and a notable decrease in CO2 emissions from cement production. Additionally, the biophilic properties of biochar, although less explored, indicate potential benefits for vegetation compatibility in concrete. Studies suggest biochar’s ability to enhance plant growth and create a microbial-rich, nutritious environment.
