MicroCHAR® is a local product. The raw materials are by-products of agricultural production. The carbon is obtained by pyrolysis of biomass, ideally the residue after fermentation in a biogas plant. Organic nutrients are supplemented by livestock manure. Micro-organisms can also be cultivated on site. The only imported component is soil fungi.

The production is carried out by the farm, which is also the user of the fertiliser. The surplus is sold on the local market. Alternatively, production may be a joint investment of several farms. Such a model will not only allow the production of sustainable organic fertiliser at minimum cost, but also allow the use of agrochemicals to be phased out and soil fertility to be restored. As an added bonus, it will also remove CO₂ emissions.
