SWVA Biochar produces high-quality biochar and soil amendment products aimed at improving soil health and promoting sustainable agriculture. The company's offerings are designed to enhance water retention, increase nutrient availability, and boost microbial activity in the soil, leading to improved crop yields and plant vitality. Their product line includes items like 'Biochar Blast,' which combines biochar with worm castings and other nutrients.
The company serves a diverse client base that includes farmers, gardeners, and landscapers. Founded in 2020 by Paul H. Jaglowski, SWVA Biochar is located in the Southwest Virginia Coalfields. The business model revolves around converting low-value biomass, such as waste wood, into valuable biochar through a process called pyrolysis. This approach not only provides an agricultural product but also contributes to carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change.
