Answer:

Biochar is produced by heating biomass in the total or partial absence of oxygen. Pyrolysis is the most common technology employed to produce biochar, and also occurs in the early stages of the combustion and gasification processes. Besides biochar, bio-oil and gas can be collected from modern pyrolysers.
