CreChar®: Biochar Engineered for Anaerobic Digestion
Reduce costs, increase revenue and increase process stability.
CreChar® – high-quality biochar designed for AD
Academic knowledge and industrial expertise combining to result in a material which is:
- Carbon-rich, produced through pyrolysis from locally sourced secondary biomass
- Highly porous with a large surface area providing ideal growth conditions for functional microorganisms
- Electroconductive with the potential to impact on DIET to increase microbial performance
- Engineered to stay in suspension in the digester to provide best results and improve digester performance
- Able to support retention of water and enhances soil microbiology when applied to land

CreChar® benefits for your AD plant
Key benefits of integrating CreChar into your anaerobic digestion systems:
Enhanced Biomethane Production by up to 10%
Biochar provides a favourable habitat for beneficial microorganisms, resulting in increased biogas yields and improved methane.
Enhance Quality of Biogas
Increased methane content by up to 3%.
Trace Elements
Improved microbial efficiency can lead to reduced requirements for trace element additions.
Reduced Process Instability
Biochar helps to reduce fluctuations and maintain stable process conditions, reduces ammonia and H2S.

CreChar® FAQs
Find clear answers to common questions about CreChar®, its benefits, and how it works.
What type of feedstocks does CreChar® work with?
CreChar® is effective across a wide range of feedstocks, including agricultural residues, food waste, distillery waste, and manure. However, performance is driven less by the specific feedstock and more by the operational challenges within your plant.
CreChar® delivers the greatest benefit in systems with variable feedstock mixes, frequent feedstock changes, or issues such as high H₂S or ammonia levels.
Will it work in my type of digester?
CreChar® is compatible with all common anaerobic digestion systems, including continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR), plug-flow digesters, and covered lagoons, across both mesophilic and thermophilic processes.
Supplied in biodegradable paper bags, it can typically be added directly via the feed hopper. For alternative feeding systems, CreChar® can still be used, although minor adjustments to the dosing method may be required.
What if I have a lot of variation in my feedstock use?
This is exactly where CreChar® performs at its best. It is specifically designed to support process stability during periods of change, helping to buffer fluctuations in feedstock composition and operating conditions, and maintaining consistent digester performance.
