September 9th – Oregon & Kentucky — Wilson Biochar, LLC, led by renowned biochar expert Kelpie Wilson, is proud to announce a licensing agreement with Tarter USA, a premier U.S. manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment. This first-of-its-kind partnership will dramatically scale production and expand the distribution network for the Ring of Fire Biochar Kiln®, making this affordable biochar production tool accessible to communities and land managers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Invented by Wilson, educator and author of The Biochar Handbook (Chelsea Green, 2024), the Ring of Fire Biochar Kiln® enables landowners to cleanly and efficiently convert excess woody biomass into high-quality biochar in the field for use on site. Engineered for efficiency, portability, and durability, many kilns have completed hundreds of production cycles in the field.
Since 2020, Wilson Biochar has manufactured and distributed the Ring of Fire Biochar Kiln® which has become a trusted tool for hundreds of home owners, farmers, foresters, and land stewards across North America. With this new licensing agreement, Tarter USA’s extensive manufacturing and logistics infrastructure will dramatically increase production capacity to meet growing demand.
"This is a monumental step forward," said Kelpie Wilson, founder of Wilson Biochar. "I am very pleased with Tarter USA’s commitment to quality and their distribution capabilities. This licensing agreement means we can now get thousands more kilns into the hands of land stewards who urgently need them. The world needs more quality tools for making biochar and this partnership represents a transformational scaling opportunity for biochar as a nature-based solution for climate mitigation, regenerative agriculture, and ecosystem restoration."
Biochar is a highly porous form of charcoal that is rapidly gaining recognition as a regenerative land management tool. It enhances soil water retention, improves nutrient availability, supports microbial life, and provides a reliable pathway to capture carbon, helping to mitigate climate challenges.
The Ring of Fire Biochar Kiln® is available for order at RingofFire.earth. Wilson Biochar, LLC will continue to offer expert consulting, training, and support for biochar production, application, and integration into ecological land management practices.
