In this episode of The Biochar Show, John Webster interviews Dr. Toufiq Reza, an expert in hydrochar and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). They discuss the potential of biochar and hydrochar in agriculture, water treatment, and even on Mars. Dr. Reza explains the differences between biochar and hydrochar, their applications, and the challenges of commercialization. The conversation also touches on nutrient retention, PFAS remediation, and the future of these technologies in addressing environmental issues both on Earth and in space.

Since 2019, John Webster has run Go Biochar, a leading source for bulk biochar sales & service, biochar technical consulting, field demonstrations, and product development across agriculture, forestry, fuels, and carbon markets. John serves as Director of Development for BiocharOnSite and was formerly the Director of Communications for the US Biochar Initiative. Through these roles, he has helped expand awareness, shape national conversations, and move the industry toward commercial adoption. John brings deep experience and a storyteller’s approach to the program. His mission is to connect the dots between local practices and global carbon goals. For him, biochar is more than a product. It’s a key to rebuilding resilient soils, slashing emissions, and creating circular economies. Nature pulls carbon from the sky. Biochar helps us keep it in the ground!
