1. A biocarbon composition comprising:
(a) at least about 1 wt % to at most about 99 wt % of a low-fixed-carbon material, wherein the low-fixed-carbon material comprises a first fixed-carbon concentration, and wherein the first fixed-carbon concentration is at least about 10 wt % to at most about 55 wt % fixed carbon on an absolute basis;
(b) at least about 1 wt % to at most about 99 wt % of a high-fixed-carbon material, wherein the high-fixed carbon material comprises a second fixed-carbon concentration, wherein the second fixed-carbon concentration is at least about 50 wt % to at most about 100 wt % fixed carbon on an absolute basis, and wherein the second fixed-carbon concentration is greater than said first fixed-carbon concentration;
(c) at least 0 wt% to at most about 30 wt% moisture;
(d) at least 0 wt% to at most about 15 wt% ash; and
(e) at least 0 wt% to at most about 20 wt% of one or more additives.
