- Dan Falk’s ROI Carbonator 500 at work on his property near Stewart’s Point in Northern Sonoma County, California. This technology significantly reduces smoke and particulate matter compared to open burning and converts a portion of the biomass into biochar.

- During previous thinning operations an excess amount of slash was left using a technique called “lop and scatter”. While a portion of this material needs to be left in place for habitat, and downed wood is a natural and critical part of all forest ecosystems, some of it can be converted into biochar and returned to the forest as a much longer lasting form of carbon.
