INDUSTRIAL BIOCHAR APPLICATIONS
Biochar for Biofuel and Carbon Feedstock
Wood-derived carbon for briquettes, pellets, and fuel blends. Bring renewable carbon into your fuel products with Southern Yellow Pine biochar. Wakefield supplies lower-moisture bulk material for manufacturers who mill their own feedstock, and fine powder for formulations that need smaller particles. Our team is available to discuss material formats and supply requirements for your operation.
APPLICATION PATHS
Fuel and Feedstock Applications
Pellet and Briquette Production
Turn carbonized wood into formed fuel products. Start with bulk biochar for milling and blending, or fine powder for incorporation into your pellet or briquette formulation.
Fuel Blends and Product Development
Combine wood-derived carbon with other fuel ingredients. Biochar gives manufacturers another way to work with biomass sources and develop blends around heat value, ash content, and the properties of the finished fuel.
Carbonized Feedstock
Bring already-carbonized material into your operation without running a pyrolysis system. Wakefield supplies unpelletized biochar for further processing into fuel ingredients and finished products.
RECOMMENDED WAKEFIELD PRODUCTS
Choose Your Starting Material
Both products are supplied unpelletized. Choose the particle format that fits your formulation and processing equipment.
- Organic Carbon: 80–95%
- Particle Size: 80% ≤ 3 mm
- Moisture: ≤ 20%
Premium Biochar LM™
Lower-moisture bulk biochar for manufacturers who prefer to mill their own material. LM provides a wood-derived carbon input for grinding, blending, and production of pellets or briquettes.
Available in 2-cubic-yard bulk bags.
- Organic Carbon: 85–95%
- Particle Size: < 50 µm
- Moisture: ≤ 5%
CarbonMicro® 50
Fine, low-moisture biochar powder that can be used as an ingredient in briquettes and fuel blends. CM50 offers a prepared particle format for manufacturers whose formulations call for micronized carbon.
Available in 1,000 lb and 2,000 lb bulk bags.
Product values reflect typical material properties and may vary by lot. See each specification sheet for the full particle-size distribution and measurement details.

FAQ
Biofuel and Feedstock Questions
Does Wakefield sell pelletized or briquetted biochar?
Not currently. Premium Biochar LM and CarbonMicro 50 are supplied unpelletized, giving producers control over their formulation and densification process.
Which product should we start with?
Choose LM for a broader-particle material your team can further process, or CM50 when your formulation requires micronized powder. Your equipment and finished-product requirements guide the choice.
Can we request a sample?
Yes. Tell us what you plan to make or test, which product interests you, and the sample quantity and shipping location. Customers generally pay for samples and shipping. Availability and costs are confirmed with your request.
Can Wakefield support commercial supply?
Yes. Orders typically start at one bulk bag, with more favorable freight costs per bag for larger shipments. Share your expected volume, delivery location, and timing so we can discuss supply.
