Biochar is heterogeneous
Feedstock and production processes create materials with very different characteristics.
About CharAtlas
Biochar should be understood as a material, not just a tonne of carbon.
CharAtlas was created to give producers and buyers a common way to understand, compare and match increasingly sophisticated biochar materials.
Our mission
Build the intelligence infrastructure that connects biochar properties with the markets where they create the most value.
Why it matters
A market needs a common language.
The biochar market is growing, but technical evidence still sits across laboratory files, certificates, spreadsheets and individual organisations.
Applications need different properties
The ideal biochar for soil is not necessarily the ideal material for concrete, filtration or metallurgy.
Data remains fragmented
Existing evidence is difficult to reuse, compare and translate into a commercial specification.
Founding team
Built across technology, markets and operations.
CharAtlas brings together technical biochar expertise, commercial development and operational execution to turn material data into practical decisions.

riccardo@charatlas.comEvidence framework
Transparent inputs. Traceable interpretation.
CharAtlas is designed to keep a visible line between source data, applicable guidance, screening assumptions and the final decision output.
Structured evidence
Batch identity, methods, dates, source documents and production context stay connected to each result.
Standards-aware
Relevant certification and testing guidance informs the evidence map without implying certification by CharAtlas.
Validation boundaries
Predictions and screening scores are separated from laboratory, pilot and operational validation.
Our journey
From a market gap to the Biochar Atlas.
A focused path towards transparent technical identities for biochar.
CharAtlas founded
Customer discovery across producers, buyers and the carbon-removal ecosystem.
Backed by Carbon13
Venture development, market validation and refinement of the core proposition through Carbon13.
Intelligence framework
A structured approach connecting material data with application requirements.
The Biochar Atlas
Data infrastructure connecting producers, buyers and higher-value markets.
