Who we are

Products that matter.
From biological resources.

BCS | Biocycle solutions is a Portuguese company developing high-performance products from renewable and biological resources, combining product thinking, science and engineering to address real market needs.

We start with the application and the value it needs to deliver — then define the product, the performance requirements and the technology required to make it work.

Our vision

To become a leading European specialist in bio-based carbon and nutrient products, creating customised solutions for agriculture, industry and the built environment.

Our mission

To create high-performance products from renewable and biological resources, combining science, innovation and market needs to deliver customised solutions for a more sustainable economy.

Bio-based carbon

Biochar

A bio-based carbon product designed for purpose.

Biochar

A carbon-rich material designed for performance.

Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced through the thermochemical conversion of biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. Its properties can be tailored through feedstock selection and process conditions to meet different applications.

Biochar surface, 01

Carbon-rich

High carbon content and a stable carbon structure.

Biochar pore network, 02

Porous

A structured pore network that can support interactions with water, nutrients and other materials.

Biochar microstructure, 03

Tunable

Properties can vary with feedstock, production conditions and intended application.
