About Mobile Biochar Systems

Our Vision

Cost-Effective Solutions

To introduce people to biochar and how to make it at their scale.

We see biochar production as a tool for organic waste management solutions.

Cost-Effective Solutions

With our simple design and proprietary processing methods, a Mobile Biochar System has one of the best cost benefit ratios for smaller scale biochar production.

Customer-Centric Support

We're committed to continuously developing new designs, reactor vessels, renewable fuel sources and material handling techniques to enhance the performance and efficiency of our systems.

Customer-Centric Support

We don’t just build kilns—we build confidence.
Our team trains you hands-on, connects you with resources, and supports your success in biochar production every step of the way.

For us, customer service means being more than a vendor—we’re your partner, connector, and educator. We share knowledge openly, support your success, and help strengthen the entire biochar industry.

Waste is not Waste until you Waste it

Pyrolysis is a simple process with big payoffs.

To operate the Maine Kiln, simply gather your organic biomass, dry it, size the biomass and begin filling your reactors. Lastly roll them into the kiln for biochar production.

Our Story

Waste is not waste until you waste it.

Our mobile systems bring biochar technology to your site, eliminating hauling and unlocking sustainable waste solutions anywhere.

In 2019, founder Kevin Bernard set out to solve a growing problem: mountains of cannabis biomass heading for the dumpster every day. His search for a sustainable solution led him to biochar—and the realization that waste management needed to be cleaner, smarter, and mobile.

The first experiments were rough: a makeshift kiln welded together from an oil tank and two used barrels. But failure sparked innovation. Kevin built a mobile four-barrel prototype, proving that biochar technology didn’t have to be tied to a single site—it could move to where the waste is.

After two years of testing, redesigning, and refining, that concept evolved into the Maine Kiln, a rugged second-generation system engineered for efficiency and reliability. Alongside key partners like Growthcraft and the Just Co-op who mentored scaling efforts, we fine-tuned performance and burn quality, pushing mobile biochar technology forward.

In 2025, we rebranded as Mobile Biochar Systems, Inc. to say exactly what we do: design and build mobile kilns that bring biochar production to your site. No hauling waste. No waiting. No wasted energy.

Today, our systems are in the field, delivering real results—and scaling fast. Because the future of waste management isn’t stationary. It’s mobile.
