Biochar but better.
Our microalgal PhycoChar® offers a range of benefits.
PhycoChar is biochar. Upgraded.
Introducing PhycoChar®: The Next Generation of Biochar
At Nellie Technologies, we’ve redefined biochar to meet the demands of sustainable agriculture and carbon sequestration. PhycoChar® is our innovative biochar product, derived from microalgae cultivated at speed and scale. By integrating cutting-edge bioengineering techniques, we’ve created a product that not only outperforms standard biochar but also aligns with our mission to combat climate change.
Why Choose PhycoChar®?
Unmatched Carbon Sequestration: PhycoChar® locks away significant amounts of CO₂, providing a long-term solution for reducing atmospheric greenhouse gases.
Enhanced Soil Health: Unlike traditional biochar, PhycoChar® is enriched with nutrients from microalgae, delivering exceptional benefits as a soil additive. It improves soil structure, boosts water retention, and supports microbial activity, fostering healthier and more productive crops.
Sustainable Production: Our process utilises renewable resources, valorising microalgae to produce PhycoChar® with minimal environmental impact. Every batch represents a step towards a more circular economy.
With PhycoChar®, we’re not just offering a product; we’re providing a solution to some of agriculture’s biggest challenges while contributing to global carbon dioxide removal efforts.
Extensive trials across a variety of agricultural environments.
Where does the char go?
Our PycoChar® biochar goes into the local agricultural supply chain where it's used as a soil additive and biofertliser.
In the future, our sustainable PhycoChar® will also be used as a biogenic aggregate in the construction and steel industries.
What's in a name?
The “phyco” in PhycoChar® is derived from phycology, the scientific study of algae. This reflects our core innovation: harnessing the power of microalgae to create a superior biochar product. Algae’s rapid growth and carbon-capturing ability make it an ideal feedstock for sustainable biochar production. By embedding this scientific foundation into our name, we highlight the unique origin and purpose of PhycoChar®—a solution rooted in advanced biological research and dedicated to environmental impact.
