Biochar Testing & Analysis
Control Labs has become one of the top Biochar testing facilities in the nation with our innovative research and unique tests, as well as expertise in IBI (International Biochar Initiative) protocol. We have developed test packages for all sectors ranging from the producer to consumer to researcher to aid in better understanding the impacts of biochar for its varying applications. We currently offer Biochar tests for biomass feedstock assessment and finished product biochar.
