Biochar: Nature's Climate Solution in Action
Can one simple material help fight climate change, improve soil health, and turn waste into something useful? The answer is biochar—a powerful, carbon-rich product that’s gaining traction worldwide.
In this episode, our host, Sid Bensalah, talks with John Webster, former tech executive turned biochar advocate, and shares how biochar could become a key tool in climate action. He explains biochar, how it works, and its surprising applications across agriculture, construction, and even water filtration. From his journey to his role in the U.S. Biochar movement, John examines why biochar is much more than "fancy charcoal."
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- What biochar is and how it captures carbon for centuries.

- How biochar is used in concrete, drywall, and everyday products.
