Tom,
So, if the charcoal is mixed with compost does some of the compost and
water add to the wieght of the charcaol sold?
Business Model:
Grass compost + moisture + charcoal = X amount of $$$ per pound ????
Here's a 5 gallon bucket of biochar for a cool $129.00:

There is a lot of creative marketing going on with biochar. There is a
wide range of quality. Prices range from $0.35/lb to $2/lb with most
selling between $0.75-$1.00/lb ex plant.
Updraft gasifiers (>10 MWth) have been good sources of char for one
biochar wholesaler/broker. Char is usually conditioned with compost or
inoculated before it reaches the final customer. As nearly as we can
tell a few thousand tons of char was traded in the US in the last year.
