Since our start in 2012, we’ve had the pleasure of helping clients establish production and begin using biochar worldwide. Through our global network and hands-on experience, we stay updated on developments in various areas, which we bring into our assignments. We look forward with excitement to where biochar will take us next.
EcoTopic AB was founded in 2012. At that time, biochar was almost completely unknown, and we dreamed of working full-time with our great passion. The idea of making the world better while using, developing, and challenging our best personal qualities and skills was exciting! Our dream became a reality faster than expected, and since then, we have been part of building an entirely new industry.
We are a small company united by the need for the freedom to work when, where, and how we want, as well as the motivation to constantly be challenged by new assignments in a rapidly evolving industry. At EcoTopic, we work together because our skills and personalities complement and strengthen each other. Our previous professions include wastewater treatment, energy production, business development, climate work, photography, film and project management.
The development of biochar is growing rapidly, and we have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in many areas. We collaborate with various producers to conduct production tests, perform filter tests on both biochar and substrate blends. Through our sister company, Biokolprodukter Global AB, which develops and sells biochar, urban soils and carbon sinks, we have a good sense of how the market for biochar and carbon sink is evolving.
We work with all aspects of biochar worldwide. Contact us, and let’s explore how we can work together!

CEO EcoTopic AB
I love creating order in chaos, building structure and to deliver on target. My strengths are project management, administration and writing. I gladely hand over tasks that require attention to detail to Mattias.
Sustainable technology and new applications for biochar that can make the world better is my driving force. My strengths are to see technical systems and to be updated on the latest development in the biochar business and research to develop new projects and products. I also enjoy to talk to other enthusiasts and to lecture.
Degree och Bachelor of Science with major in Horticultural Science, film & photography
Before finding biochar, my path was through photography, filmmaking, philosophy, gardening and cultivation. My work for EcoTopic includes feasibility studies, consulting, experiments and trials as well as communication. I look forward to connecting my areas of knowledge with the ambition to contribute to a more sustainable society.
Project leader of Stockholm’s first large-scale biochar plant addressing urban waste management. The project won in the 2014 Mayors Challenge, a competition for cities held by Bloomberg Philanthropies. The project concept is now being replicated around the world.
We conduct ongoing certification of biochar and carbon sinks according to EBC and WBC. Our clients are located in Sweden, India, Australia, among others.
It has taken 10 years to write the book on biochar which will finally be launched in 2024! The first edition is in Swedish, but we hope and believe in a translation within not quite as long as 10 years.
As one of the parties in the Vinnova funded project Residues to Best Use, EcoTopic were developing everything from peat free soils, biochar filters and trading structures for carbon sinks.
