Press Release

The Global Biochar Market size was valued at USD 171.2 million in 2021 and is expected to grow by USD 587.7 million in 2030 at a CAGR of 13.30% during the forecast period.

Biochar is a type of charcoal made by heating waste materials such as agricultural waste, forest waste, wood waste, and animal dung under controlled circumstances. It is frequently used as a soil amendment to reduce pollution and toxic elements, as well as to avoid soil leaching, moisture loss, and fertilizer runoff, among other applications. Environmental awareness, lower raw material costs, and consistent government waste management policies are expected to open up more business opportunities.        

Despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic affected the biochar market, stakeholders are encouraging farmers to construct reactors on their fields to speed up the process of converting stubble to biomass. This trend is especially visible in India, where stakeholders and farmers are doubling down on efforts to boost crop yield despite the pandemic's challenges.  

The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified biochar as a feasible method for reducing pollution. Biochar makers, who are now coping with variable demand and supply as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, are profiting from these changes. Biochar has gotten a lot of press because of its ability to boost soil health and agricultural productivity while being environmentally friendly.

Trash resources such as agriculture waste, forest waste and others are used to make this product. This is a type of charcoal that is used to generate energy in a variety of locations across the world. It is a cost-effective alternative for energy production, and as a result, the use of this product is fast rising around the world. This char is also incredibly simple and convenient to make. During the forecast period, the increased use of this char for energy production presents profitable potential for the market.     

Environmental protection is gaining popularity all around the world. More environmental laws are being demanded in order to preserve the ecosystem from rubbish and carbon pollution. The government has enacted a number of stringent environmental regulations and is encouraging the use of this commodity for a range of purposes, including livestock feeding, energy production, and other applications. It can be used as a fertilizer after being put to the soil, as it reduces waste and leads to the achievement of a long-term aim. Over the projected period, rising environmental regulations are expected to increase the worldwide biochar market.

North America has been the largest market for the biochar due to the rising demand for organic foods and high meat consumption. As compared to other nations, it may have a significant level of biochar awareness, as well as the farming industry is more aware of the benefits of the product. Furthermore, decreasing animal feed costs are predicted to boost demand in this industry. Due to the growing popularity of regenerative agriculture in Asia-Pacific, which improves soil biology, soil fertility, and watersheds also while soaking carbon to alleviate the effects of climate change, the region is predicted to increase significantly throughout the projection period. Furthermore, as the demand for high-quality food grows and the majority of the population in China, India, and Indonesia becomes interested in organic agricultural foods, the use of biochar in various farming processes is becoming more common.

KEY INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS:   

In November 2021, Vale SA announced a 60 million to 70 million Chinese yuan investment in China Baowu Steel Group Corp. Ltd.'s pilot biochar plant project. Under the provisions of the MOU, the parties agreed to collaborate to develop steelmaking solutions that cut greenhouse gas emissions.

June 2021, Airex Energy and the SUEZ Group have partnered together to expand the capability of creating biochar from biomass waste, with a capacity of 10,000 to 30,000 tonnes per year expected.
