Biochar and Climate Impact

Biochar is recognized as one of the key negative emission technologies by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It’s identified as an efficient means to curtail the impact of global warming by sequestering carbon in soil, building materials, and concrete structures. The durability, speed, and safety of carbon removal through biochar make it a noteworthy solution.

Biochar’s Potential for Carbon Credits

In controlled conditions, biochar’s carbon storage capacity is being leveraged to generate carbon credits. These certificates can be traded in open markets or with customers aiming to offset emissions. The carbon stored in biochar can be quatified in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent, with each ton equating to one carbon credit.

Commercial Potential and Applications

Biochar is gaining widespread attention as a potent carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology. Its implementation is expected to be capital-efficient, making it suitable for small-scale installations such as farmers and rural diversification in emerging economies. Government and university-backed R&D projects worldwide are further boosting its commercial potential.

Dominant Application: Agriculture

Agriculture is the primary application area for biochar. Its use in soil enhancement and animal feed is expected to drive demand consistently. The versatility and environmental benefits of biochar have driven R&D and investments in pilot-scale projects. Additionally, emerging applications in building and construction, wastewater treatment, and oil & gas are propelling market growth.

Notable Companies

Some of the key players in the global biochar market include merican Biochar Co., Airex Energy, Biochar Supreme LLC, Biochar Now LLC, Canadian Agrichar Inc., Carbo Culture Inc., Carbon Gold Ltd., Pacific Biochar, Rainbow Bee Eater, and Swiss Biochar.
