Good Morning Gao and List. Gao "activated charcoal" is generally made at temperatures much lower than gasifier charcoal, BUT, I will say that the charcoal that come out of my gasifiers has had a dramatic effect on the soil that surrounds my home.
As well, the ash has provided a marked difference in the growing of everything from lawn grass to trees. So, I would have to say, that as long as the charcoal is not covered in oils (it's dry charcoal), that it is good for soil. I do note that charcoal that is covered in oils (very low temperature gasifier) has a distinct wet feel if handled (Careful, latex gloves would be wise), does NOT do justice to soils, in fact the area that has a small amount of it has NOT grown grass since. Thank god, that it was in a test rack where it was tested, and NOT directly on the outdoor soil itself.
