These materials are converted into charcoal through the \u201cpyrolysis\u201d process at high temperatures without oxygen. The result of this process is charcoal with high carbon purity, free of pollutants and smoke.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"558\" data-end=\"598\">Difference between biochar and traditional wood charcoal<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"599\" data-end=\"846\">Traditional wood charcoal is produced by burning tree wood in low-oxygen conditions, which, besides emitting greenhouse gases, leads to deforestation. In contrast, biochar is produced from renewable sources without harming nature, and its production process causes much less pollution.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/victorcharcoal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BK-Blog-00009-e1700143615348.webp&#8221; alt=&#8221;Biochar&#8221; title_text=&#8221;BK-Blog-00009-e1700143615348&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;620px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;IranYekanX|500|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#21181F&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;IranYekanX|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#21181F&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;IranYekanX|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#21181F&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"896\"> A look at the history of biochar in the world<\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"940\">Origin and emergence in developed countries<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"941\" data-end=\"1169\">Although the term \u201cbiochar\u201d may sound new, its concept has existed for centuries. Early examples of this technology can be found in the fertile black soil of the Amazon (Terra Preta), created by pre-Columbian civilizations by burning plant waste.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1208\">Entry into the Middle East and Iran market<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1398\">With growing awareness of environmental issues, biochar made its way into the Middle East and Iran market.
