ABOUT WOODTEK BIOCHAR
At Woodtek, we believe the future of renewable energy and carbon removal lies in local, regenerative, and circular systems. Our biochar production plants are designed to operate alongside rural and commercial industries, placing clean energy and verified carbon capture exactly where it’s needed.
​
We operate a Woodtek C1000 pyrolysis system on-site, producing over 800 tonnes of high-grade biochar each year. This removes approximately 2,000 tonnes of COâ‚‚ from the atmosphere annually, creating a measurable, long-term climate benefit.
​
Importantly, the heat and power generated during biochar production are fully utilised across our operations. Thermal energy is used for woodchip drying, timber kilning, and heating our facilities, while the electricity generated supports our manufacturing workshop and engineering operations. Every kilojoule of energy is captured and put to productive use.
​
Our systems are designed for locally sourced, low-grade feedstocks—including brash, bark, thinning residues, and sawmill by-products—without the need for high processing inputs or long-haul transport.
​
We’re not just producing biochar—we’re proving its value.
​
We are continuously running live regenerative farming trials with our biochar. Our recent 4-year field study (2021–2025) has shown measurable improvements in soil biology, structure, and carbon. In just four years, soil organic carbon rose from 5.8% to 7.1%, alongside better water retention and increased worm counts.
​
By combining engineering innovation with ecological land use, Woodtek is proving that biochar production can power farms, drive local industry, and deliver real climate impact—all from one integrated system.
​
Long-term sustainability combined with ecological sound management and harvesting protocol is designed to create a continuous habitat for nature to regenerate and flourish.
​
Our technology centre and engineering firm are on our 100-acre family farm in Mid Wales. We source part of our biomass from small-scale thinning and harvesting stream borders and wetlands of this farmland.

Woodtek Biochar has the ideal resources for the development and field trials of Biochar.
