REMEDIATION · MARKET 01

Heavy metals. PFAS. Stormwater.

Spec-grade activated biochar for the contaminants that won't go away on their own.

BET >800 m²/g H/Corg <0.4 pH 7.5–9.5 EPA Superfund PFAS Adsorption
APPLICATIONS

Four sub-markets. One material standard.

Activated biochar from the NextChar network meets the surface area and purity thresholds for each remediation pathway.
