Biochar is a fairly common label used to identify the by-product from the gasification of carbonaceous materials like wood chips or grasses. It is a solid odorless powder that has a gray/black or black/ tan color depending on the process and original carbonaceous material. This by-product has some characteristics that require safety precautions while storing, handling, and applying.
