North American Biochar Conference - 2026

The North American Biochar Conference, hosted by the American Biochar Institute, convenes experts in soil carbon and carbon removal November 16–18, 2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This premier gathering brings together farmers, soil scientists, entrepreneurs, researchers, and policymakers exploring how pyrolysis-derived biochar and regenerative agriculture draw down atmospheric carbon while improving soil health. Attendees learn about on-farm biochar production, soil carbon measurement, and emerging carbon credit markets enabling farmers to monetize climate mitigation. The conference showcases practical applications in crop production, livestock integration, and landscape restoration alongside policy discussions on carbon credit standards and climate finance. With hundreds of participants from North America and internationally, it serves as the industry's primary platform for advancing biochar science, scaling production, and integrating soil carbon into climate action strategies and net-zero commitments.
