About the company
North American Biochar Council American Biochar Institute Division is a tax-exempt nonprofit operating as a recipient and sub-recipient on federal research and development grants focused on biochar production, soil carbon sequestration, and agricultural sustainability. The organization does not hold prime federal contracts and competes in full-and-open federal grant programs rather than set-aside categories.
The vendor's federal footprint consists of three awards spanning $2.5 million in combined obligated dollars across the Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, and the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. The organization holds one prime grant award: a cooperative agreement from USDA Forest Service for geographical and functional expansion of the Pacific Northwest Biochar Atlas, awarded September 20, 2025, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the organization received a $1.8 million sub-award from Washington State University (the prime grantee) for a multi-year, multi-site field study designed to increase durable soil carbon by 20% in hemp-based crop rotation systems while maintaining or increasing yields and reducing greenhouse gas emissions through application of different biochar formulations — including biochar-enriched nitrogen fertilizers and co-composted biochar — across Washington State under irrigated and dryland farming conditions. The organization also received a sub-award from the United States Endowment for Forestry and Communities, Inc. (awarded September 18, 2024) for organizational capacity building, strategic planning, market development program design, and development of an American National Standard for biochar, alongside hosting the annual North American Biochar Conference.
Activity is early-stage. The organization entered the federal grant landscape in September 2024 with two awards in that year and one in 2025. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a single near-term recompete opportunity. The organization's capability portfolio centers on biochar product development, soil carbon market development, industry standardization, and coordinating regional biochar research networks across multiple agricultural and climate zones.
