CCC S1E20 with Matt Welton (Carbon Options)

The last podcast for the year for Season 1! Dylan is joined by Matt from Carbon Options at Gallops Ridge Farm in the lower north island.

We talk about Matt's journey in life and with biochar as a solution to forestry slash on their property. They are giving parts back to nature and parts are being rehabilitated for farming. Biochar and livestock are being used to build the topsoil again after 3 pine forest rotations and it's working well. Matt uses a batch retort kiln and sells to wholesale customers as well as small scale sales at a local market.

He also educates in the local community about biochar making and use.

In addition Matt is also using two more waste streams (yeast and hops from a local brewery and cotton textiles) to make (a fertiliser and) biochar. He also has a novel product in development to be used as a spill kit filter. Tune in the hear all the details.
