The Problem We Solve
Soil Amendments Should Do More
Traditional soil inputs often serve a single purpose. Perlite, for example, helps with drainage, but it provides no nutrient benefits. Black Bear Biochar™ is different: it boasts optimal physical structure and exceptionally high carbon content. This improves soil structure, enhances water retention, and supports microbial life, delivering a game-changing boost to the soil’s health and productivity.
The Organic Alternative With Proven Impact
Made from residual wood through a proprietary continuous pyrolysis process, Black Bear Biochar™ is organic, OMRI-listed, and traps atmospheric CO2 — supporting plant growth while giving back to the earth.
Local Supply Chain
Unlike traditional amendments that rely on mining, processing, and long-distance shipping, Black Bear Biochar™ is made locally from wood residuals. By co-locating with lumber operations, we turn waste into a valuable soil product—cutting transportation costs, lowering emissions, and creating a circular, sustainable solution for growers.
Carbon Removal
Scalable, certified carbon removal solutions that turn waste into real-world value.
Generates high-impact, Puro.earth–certified carbon credits.
Transparent, verifiable, and permanent sequestration.

Our Solutions
How it Started
After serving in the military for 16 years, founder Phil Marsh returned to his family farm in McBride, BC—and saw a problem: piles of unused wood waste everywhere. With aptitude for science and military execution, he set out on a mission to turn that waste into something meaningful. The result? BC Biocarbon’s proprietary pyrolysis process, and the creation of Black Bear Biochar™ —a superior soil amendment. Today BC Biocarbon is a company that proudly converts wood residuals into high-impact commercial solutions for soil and climate.
