What Super Biochar does

Super Biochar is a privately held, founder-led climate tech company that produces engineered, region-specific biochar blends for soil remediation and pairs them with a proprietary Soil Intelligence Platform for measurement, reporting, and verification. The company's core offering is a two-part soil recovery system: (1) diagnostics-driven biochar and organic amendment blends engineered for specific mineralogy, biology, and climate conditions, designed to address contamination (PFAS, heavy metals, hydrocarbons), fertility loss, acidity, and microbial degradation, and (2) a software platform that tracks soil chemistry, contaminant indicators, biochar batch data, GPS-tagged application logs, lab PDFs, and audit trails, providing before-during-after records aligned with leading soil and carbon MRV frameworks. The platform is built on Domo's data infrastructure and includes AI-supported treatment recommendations and predictive analytics for soil improvement verification.

The company operates a B2B enterprise field sales model targeting large organizations and does not sell direct to consumers. Its four primary customer verticals are Agriculture (large farms, regenerative agriculture programs, universities and extension offices), Conservation and Land Management (land trusts, watershed and habitat restoration teams), Environmental and Engineering Firms (PFAS, metals, and brownfield remediation consultancies), and Public Sector and Infrastructure (municipal and state agencies, parks, public works, coastal resilience divisions, redevelopment authorities). Revenue is structured across multiple streams: soil diagnostics and laboratory services (professional services), blend sale and deployment (one-time), the Soil Intelligence Platform and data services (subscription), longitudinal site monitoring and MRV (subscription), and potential future carbon market participation (transaction-based). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution occurs through direct enterprise engagement and channel partnerships with environmental and engineering firms.

Geographically, Super Biochar is headquartered at ClimateHaven in New Haven, Connecticut, with a planned European headquarters in Brussels. Its initial commercial focus is the Northeast US—particularly Connecticut, where early pilots across agricultural fields, municipal land, and brownfields are ongoing through 2025-2026—while the company states its technology is designed to scale globally. Strategic partnerships anchor the business, including a core diagnostics partnership with Ward Laboratories (June 2022), the Domo for Good data infrastructure partnership (January 2024), and ecosystem relationships with Carbonmark, the International Biochar Initiative, the US Biochar Coalition, the Carbon Business Council, and several regional farming and conservation organizations. The three co-founders—Natacha Rousseau (CEO), Bluvin Ravindran (CTO), and Dr. Sara Duarte (CFO)—retain primary ownership, and the company positions its model as independent of carbon credits and subsidies.

Revenue model

1. Soil Diagnostics and Monitoring: Revenue from soil testing, laboratory analysis, and ongoing monitoring services.
2. Biochar and Amendment Deployment: Revenue from sale and application of engineered biochar blends and soil amendments.
3. Software and Data Services: Revenue from the Soil Intelligence Platform including diagnostics organization, treatment planning, application tracking, and monitoring workflows.
4. Longitudinal Site Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) services for long-term site management.
5. Carbon Market Participation: Potential participation in carbon markets where applicable. The company states projects should demonstrate site-level value independently of incentives; carbon markets may become an additional layer over time.

Core offering

Super Biochar produces and supplies engineered, region-specific biochar blends combined with a proprietary Soil Intelligence Platform for soil remediation and improvement. The biochar blends pair carbon-rich biochar with organic amendments, formulated using diagnostics from soil testing (including Ward Laboratories) to address fertility loss, PFAS, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, acidity, and microbial decline. The Soil Intelligence Platform provides measurement, reporting, and verification of soil outcomes through GPS-tagged application logs, lab data, audit trails, and AI-supported treatment recommendations aligned with leading soil and carbon frameworks.

Product overview

Super Biochar offers a two-part soil recovery system comprising Engineered Biochar Blends and the Soil Intelligence Platform (App). The Engineered Biochar Blends are region-specific remediation products combining carbon-rich biochar with organic amendments, diagnostics-driven for targeted soil improvement. The Soil Intelligence Platform is a monitoring and verification dashboard that enables real-time tracking of soil chemistry, contaminants, application data, and treatment outcomes. These two products work together: blends are applied based on diagnostic data, while the platform verifies and validates results over time.

Products and services

• Engineered Biochar Blends Region-specific engineered soil remediation blends combining carbon-rich biochar with organic amendments, formulated using diagnostics from soil testing (including Ward Laboratories) to address target mineralogy, biology, and climate. Improves fertility, reduces PFAS/heavy-metal/hydrocarbon mobility, rebuilds microbial life and organic matter, corrects acidity, improves water balance, and supports long-term carbon stability. Designed for farms, land trusts, municipalities, environmental firms, and remediation partners.
• Soil Intelligence Platform (App) A measurement and monitoring system providing a before-during-after health record for soil. Tracks soil chemistry, structure, and organic matter; PFAS, metal, and hydrocarbon indicators; biochar batch data and kiln mass balance; GPS-tagged application logs; raw lab PDFs and audit trails; and reporting packets for farms, firms, and municipalities. Includes AI-supported treatment recommendations and is aligned with measurement principles across leading soil and carbon frameworks for transparent, auditable MRV. Built on Domo data infrastructure.
