A Renewable Source of High-Quality Organic Carbon


Vital Biochar is a sustainably sourced, contaminant-free organic carbon product produced in Australia from thermally treated, reclaimed building industry pine residues. Its stability, versatility and long-term environmental benefits make it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications across civil, mining, construction and environmental sectors.

While Vital Biochar was Australia’s first commercially available biochar product, our focus today is on continued innovation. Vital Chemical remains the only Australian company actively innovating, developing and advancing biochar technology, working closely with industry as proud members of the ANZ Biochar Industry Group (ANZBIG). All Vital Biochar is trialled, tested, certified and analysed at our Brisbane facility, ensuring quality and performance for demanding projects.

Vital Biochar is one of Vital Chemical’s growing portfolio of ISupply listed products, helping our clients to achieve IS ratings through the delivery of proven innovations and sustainable outcomes.

Revegetation & Soil Amelioration

Soils disturbed by mining, construction or land clearing often contain little to no organic carbon, making it difficult for vegetation to establish and thrive. Vital Biochar restores essential carbon, improving soil structure, nutrient retention and microbial health.

Benefits include:

  • Stronger seed germination and root development
  • Greater moisture holding capacity and drought tolerance
  • Long-term soil regeneration and self-sustaining vegetation
  • Compatibility with regenerative agriculture and carbon farming protocols

Vital Biochar integrates seamlessly with Vital Chemical’s proprietary revegetation product range to maximise soil health and vegetation success.

Contamination Isolation & Soil Remediation

When used in contamination management, Vital Biochar can immobilise pollutants and support soil remediation, offering a sustainable alternative to coal-based powdered or granular activated carbon (PAC/GAC).

Because correct contamination control is critical, Vital Chemical recommends expert advice and well-designed remediation protocols to ensure regulatory compliance and environmental safety.

Water Treatment & Quality Improvement

Biochar has been used for centuries as a natural water filtration solution. In modern civil infrastructure and stormwater systems, Biochar can help to remove contaminants and improve water quality when used within integrated treatment designs.

Vital Biochar can be incorporated into Vital Chemical’s proprietary revegetation product range to deliver improved soil and plant growth outcomes. Soils disturbed through mining or construction activities have low or no organic carbon content. Vital Biochar may be topically applied, prior to or as part of the revegetation process to support improved seed establishment and long-term soil regeneration. Increased moisture holding capacities (drought tolerance), nutrient retention, microbial health, amelioration in regenerative and carbon farming protocols can all be provided through the use of Vital Biochar. Soil carbon is critical to improving soil health and through improvement of microbial growth, self-sustaining vegetation can be supported.
