Sustainable Composting Solutions for Regenerative Agriculture in the UK
At Carboliva, we transform the olive industry’s by-products into high-value, sustainable energy solutions. Based in Osuna, in the heart of Andalusia, we combine deep-rooted olive-growing tradition with cutting-edge technology to create renewable fuels that respect both nature and people.
Our production focuses on premium olive-based charcoal, biochar, and clean thermal energy — all derived from olive biomass. By giving new life to agricultural residues, we help close the carbon loop and promote a truly circular economy. With a commitment to innovation, quality, and environmental responsibility, Carboliva delivers sustainable energy products that meet today’s industrial needs while protecting tomorrow’s planet. Below you’ll find a series of reasons why you should choose us for Compost with biochar:
Boosting compost quality and nutrient stability
When mixed with organic compost, Carboliva’s biochar acts as a nutrient stabiliser and microbial enhancer. Its porous structure absorbs and retains essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, preventing them from leaching during the composting process. This ensures that every batch of compost becomes richer, more balanced, and longer-lasting in its fertilising effect. The result is a stable, high-quality soil amendment that nourishes crops over time, reduces nutrient loss, and improves the efficiency of organic farming systems across the UK.
Enhancing microbial activity and compost maturity
Biochar provides an ideal habitat for beneficial microorganisms that drive compost decomposition. By adding Carboliva’s biochar to your compost, you create a thriving microbial ecosystem that accelerates organic matter breakdown and increases compost maturity. The microorganisms colonise the biochar’s pores, transforming waste into humus faster and more efficiently. This active biological process produces compost that is more biologically diverse, odour-free, and ready for field application — supporting healthier soils and stronger crops naturally.
Improving soil structure and long-term fertility
Compost enriched with biochar not only feeds the soil — it rebuilds it. When applied to farmland or gardens, this combination enhances soil structure by improving porosity, water retention, and root penetration. Carboliva’s olive-based biochar acts as a long-term soil conditioner, creating a stable environment that sustains fertility for decades. It supports healthy root systems, prevents compaction, and reduces erosion, ensuring that soils remain productive and resilient through every growing season. This is soil regeneration made simple and sustainable.
Carbon sequestration and climate-positive agriculture
One of the greatest advantages of composting with biochar is its powerful environmental benefit. Carboliva’s production process captures carbon from olive residues — biomass that would otherwise release CO₂ — and locks it into the biochar permanently. When combined with compost and applied to soil, this stable carbon remains stored for centuries, actively reducing greenhouse gases. Farmers and compost producers using our biochar can therefore improve soil fertility while contributing to the UK’s net-zero goals. It’s a climate-smart solution that turns waste into long-term environmental value.
Expert support and customised composting strategies
At Carboliva, we believe that the best results come from collaboration. Our team works closely with compost producers, organic farmers, and sustainability-focused organisations to develop tailored biochar integration strategies. From determining the right biochar-to-compost ratio to optimising moisture and aeration conditions, we provide expert guidance every step of the way. Choosing Carboliva means more than enhancing compost — it means joining a partnership built on innovation, transparency, and a shared commitment to regenerative agriculture. Together, we can restore soil health and reduce carbon emissions naturally.
