OMRI Certified

Agricultural Biochar​

​Carbon Smart's agricultural biochar is the gold standard for soil amendment — OMRI Certified and PAH tested to ensure safe application for food and forage crops. But what sets our Ag Blend apart is the customization: we use your soil sample to build a blend adjusted for your specific pH, CEC, and base saturation targets.

The result is a biochar blend that doesn't just add carbon to your soil — it actively improves the conditions your crops need to thrive, long after the first season.

🌱 OMRI Certified for Organic Production

Listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute — safe for certified organic operations and USDA NOP compliance.

🧪 PAH Tested & Safety Verified

Every batch is tested for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to ensure completely safe application to food and forage crops.

 

📊 Custom Blended from Your Soil Sample

We analyze your soil and calibrate pH, CEC, and base saturation to your exact field requirements — not a generic formula.

💧 Improved Water Holding Capacity

Biochar's porous structure holds moisture in the root zone, reducing irrigation needs and protecting crops during dry periods.

 

♾️ 100+ Year Carbon Stability

Unlike compost or organic matter, biochar's carbon structure doesn't decompose — it keeps improving your soil for generations.

Remediation Blends

Contaminant-Specific

Biochar gives remediation engineers the competitive advantage on projects involving heavy metal contamination, nitrate leaching, and hydrocarbon-impacted soils. Carbon Smart's remediation blends are engineered for the specific contaminants present at your site — not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Our blends are approved and proven across Soil Stabilization, Water Filtration, Mineland Reclamation, and Brownfield Remediation applications.

⚗️ Heavy Metal Immobilization

Biochar's negatively charged surface bonds with heavy metals including lead, arsenic, copper, zinc, and chromium — immobilizing them and reducing bioavailability.​

 

💧Nitrate Leaching Contro

Reduces nitrate migration through soil profiles, protecting groundwater in agricultural and industrial zones.​

🛢️ Hydrocarbon Consumptio

Inoculated blends host microbes that actively break down petroleum hydrocarbons, oils, and fuel residues through natural biodigestion.​

🏗️ Approved for Major Application

Soil Stabilization · Water Filtration · Mineland Reclamation · Brownfield Remediation — proven in the field.

📋 Site-Specific Formulatio

We review your site assessment data and contaminant profile to create a blend optimized for your specific remediation goals.

Stormwater Blends

Urban stormwater carries a cocktail of dissolved metals, excess nutrients, sediment, and pathogens into local streams and waterways. Carbon Smart's stormwater blends are engineered to intercept and neutralize these pollutants before they cause harm — using biochar's unique combination of chemical capture and biological activity.

🧲  Heavy Metal Capture
Dissolved copper (from brake pads) and zinc (from galvanized roofing) carry a positive charge. Biochar's naturally negative surface acts like a magnet — locking these metals onto the carbon surface.

🌿  Nutrient Retention
Captures excess phosphorus and nitrogen from lawn fertilizers, preventing the algae blooms that choke urban ponds and streams.
 

🌊  Infiltration & Volume Control
Keeps soil porous and reduces compaction — allowing water to infiltrate faster and reducing peak runoff volumes during heavy rain events.

🔬 TSS & Sediment Trapping
Biochar pores trap Total Suspended Solids — the fine grit and particles that carry other pollutants into storm drains.

🦠 Pathogen Removal

Inoculated biochar hosts predatory microbes that consume harmful bacteria including E. coli — significantly reducing pathogen loads in filtered runoff.
