Non-Labile Biochar
The bugs don't eat it. Leaving it in the earthUsing under-utilized green waste for regenerative agriculture. Non-labile biochar is created when the biomass combustion is around 5% moisture, and the output when used on fields is highly resistant to decomposition in soil for longer agricultural benefits.

How Is Biochar Used
Biochar is a means for sequestering carbon and a valuable input for agriculture. It can improve soil fertility, aid sustainable production, and reduce contamination of streams and groundwater. Biochar has proven to be a key accessible input for agriculture, can help rehabilitate degraded land, and plays a significant role in sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Some key benefits of adding biochar to soil include improving nutrient retention capacity, reducing leaching and gaseous loss, increasing nitrogen retention in soil, enhancing phosphorus availability, increasing soil pH, improving soil biological properties, and providing a significant source of plant nutrients.

How HPE utilizes Biochar
Our process involves heating biomass to extreme temperatures, resulting in non-labile millennial biochar. We can use direct, but through HPE own research along with our soil experts and academia white papers shows that by adding around 8% of this biochar to a high-quality organic matter biofertilizer allows for nutrient-growth-enriched biofertilizers to increase soil pH, thereby influencing nutrient availability for plants. It also permits the substrate from biochar to create significant opportunities in pursuing carbon neutrality in our overall ESG business plan.

Non-Labile (Persistent) Biochar
We can modify syngas output vs. biochar output by adjusting the input materials' moisture. With moisture at <5%, we will produce more biochar and at >10 % more syngas. The biomass input material will be the "unusable" green waste or wood fibre, and alternative inputs such as corn stover and hemp flour can be used. The goal is to modify outputs to meet customer/locational needs or just enough biochar produced to add to an organic matter biofertilizer and optimize carbon credits.

Biochar within a soil amendment gives increased crop yield and improved soil quality.
Biochar is a carbon sink that absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases. One ton of biochar absorbs 3.7 tons of carbon dioxide.
One ton of biochar offsets the annual emissions of about two passenger cars
Biochar improves the soil’s nutrient binding and water retention capacity and adds to the soil’s porosity.
Can bind/absorb hazardous chemicals and compounds, such as heavy metals and pesticides.
It has a great water retention capacity and can bind five times the amount.

Current Status
HiPoint Energy is currently progressing with a one-year pilot trial unit in Powell Butte, Oregon. We are conducting the trial using up to 1 million lbs. of dried hemp flour biowaste from a local 500-acre farm. This waste will be the main feedstock for the pilot unit with additional various types of biomass waste such as corn stover, horse stall residual waste, and some integrated plastics. By using the various biomass wastes, HiPoint Energy will perform chemical and economic analysis from all forms of feedstock for engineering and to have the production of the HPe-6 commercial units by early 2026.
