Almond Shell into Premium Biochar Project
South Australia, Australia
Project Overview
Biocare has partnered with a pioneering agri-business seeking a more sustainable waste management solution.
The feedstock is processed with pyrolysis, transforming it into a high-value form of carbon used as a soil amendment for the orchard and as a livestock feed additive.
Feedstock
Husk and shell from an almond processing facility with a further planned expansion to include retired orchards. This project encompasses a circular approach as biochar will be used in the re-planting of orchards.
Technology
Biocare is providing a bespoke high efficiency continuous pyrolysis reactor to meet carbon registry standards and increase scale of production.

Co-Benefits | Enhancing soil functionality a portion of the biochar allocated for use in the almond orchard, augmenting productivity. Improving soil water retention almonds are a water intensive crop and biochar will reduce watering needs. Preventing eutrophication biochar acts as a natural filter stopping nutrient seepage that aects groundwater. |
Permanence of Carbon Removal | 100+ years |

Biochar end use | Local almond orchard soil improvement. Livestock feed additive. |
Additionality | The decision to implement this project was based on the potential carbon revenue obtained from the sale of carbon dioxide removal credits. The biochar project would not be economically viable in the absence of carbon finance. To find our more about this project, please contact our marketing team. |
RFQ | Seeking spot or forward otake from a credible counterparty. |
