Executive Summary
Biochar is one of the five key negative emission technologies identified by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to curtail the impact of global warming. According to the IPCC, it is the most durable, fastest and safest way to remove carbon from the environment and sequestering it in the soil, building materials and concrete structure for several years.
In controlled conditions, biochar is finding increasing use in generating carbon credits. Carbon credits are certificates that, once produced, can be traded in open markets or directly with customers who wish to offset their emissions. Carbon stored within biochar can be measured as carbon dioxide equivalent, where 1 ton is equal to 1 carbon credit.
Biochar is now gaining widespread attention as an effective carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology. It is expected to be implemented as a capital-efficient negative emission technology specifically for small-scale installations, including farmers, and for rural diversification in emerging nations. The commercial potential of biochar is growing, supplemented by government and university-backed R&D projects worldwide.
Agriculture is the dominant application area of biochar. The use of biochar in soil-based applications and animal feed are likely to drive the demand throughout the forecast period. The versatility of biochar and its environmental advantages have put it at the forefront of R&D and pilot-scale investments. Building and construction, wastewater treatment and oil & gas are other emerging applications of biochar.
