News provided by Share this article Share this article The global biochar market reached a value of US$ 1.5 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 3.1 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.86% during 2021-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor. Biochar refers to the fine-grained biomass obtained by burning wood, animal manure, forest waste and other agricultural by-products in a limited oxygen environment. It is a porous substance that can retain water and nutrients in the soil for absorption by plants. Biochar primarily reduces soil leaching, pollution levels and toxic elements in the ground and increases soil carbon sequestration. Considering the long-term results, biochar can significantly reduce the atmospheric greenhouse effect, while improving water quality and agricultural productivity. The growing agriculture industry is one of the key factors driving the global biochar industry. Increasing preference for natural and organic food products, along with a growing need for enhancing soil fertility and crop growth, is contributing significantly to the demand for biochar in the agriculture sector. In addition to this, organic farming practices are widely gaining preference as a means of sustainable development and are considered to bridge the substantial demand and supply gap of food products across the globe. Furthermore, biochar is rapidly being utilized in other farming practices, including zero tillage farming, biodynamic agriculture and mixed farming, which is significantly impacting the market growth. The rising urbanization in emerging nations has positively impacted the acceptance of biochar as an appropriate substitute for chemical fertilizers. Apart from this, the use of biochar for insulation in the construction industry, for energy storage in supercapacitors, manufacturing food packaging material and as a feed supplement and air-purifying agent, is catalyzing the overall industry growth. Other factors, such as extensive research and development (R&D) and the implementation of favorable government policies to encourage biochar usage in order to increase the land productivity, are projected to further drive the market in the coming years. Competitive Landscape: The report has also analysed the competitive landscape of the market with some of the key players being Agri-tech Producers, Diacarbon Energy Inc., Cool Planet, Pacific Biochar, Phoenix Energy, Biomacon GmbH, Vega Biofuels, Terra Char, Avello Bioenergy, Genesis Industries, Interra Energy Services, Element C6, Carbon Gold Ltd. ans Biochar Solution Ltd., etc. Key Questions Answered in This Report: How has the global biochar market performed so far and how will it perform in the coming years? What are the key regional markets in the global biochar industry? What has been the impact of COVID-19 on the global biochar industry? What is the breakup of the market based on the feedstock type? What is the breakup of the market based on the technology type? What is the breakup of the market based on the product form? What is the breakup of the market based on the application? What are the various stages in the value chain of the global biochar industry? What are the key driving factors and challenges in the global biochar industry? What is the structure of the global biochar industry and who are the key players? What is the degree of competition in the global biochar industry? Key Topics Covered:

Compare Cool Planet to Competitors

Revcoo offers solutions to capture CO2 from the chimneys of industrial sites and its revaluation through various sectors. It allows industries to reduce their emissions without modifying production processes. Its cryogenic capture technology allows the recovery of CO2 directly from industrial chimneys and captures its emissions. The company was founded in 2018 and is based in Vourles France.
Carbon Capture Machine has developed a technology for carbon emission reduction that profitably converts waste carbon dioxide into useful materials. Proprietary CCM technology dissolves combustion CO2 from any source in dilute alkali, converting it to carbonate ions with efficiency approaching 100%. The carbonate solution is reacted with readily and abundantly available calcium (Ca++) and magnesium (Mg++) brines to selectively precipitate CaCO3 (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, PCC) and MgCO3·3H2O (Precipitated Magnesium Carbonate, PMC).

Carbon Recycling International captures carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and converts carbon dioxide into renewable methanol.

CleanO2 offers CARBiN-X, a decentralized commercial carbon capture device that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the heating industry. Its solutions divert these emissions into its system where the carbon dioxide is absorbed by a chemical, converting into a carbonate which sequesters it in a form of mineralized CO2, known as pearl ash, the pearl ash from the direct air capture is then collected from each site and turned into consumer goods such as soap, shampoos, cleaning products, and fertilizers. The company was founded in 2013 and is based in Calgary Canada.

ReCarbon creates a technology platform that recycles carbon emissions into revenue-generating products. The company specializes in building proprietary plasma generation systems that convert industrial carbon emissions into industrial gases.

Susteon focuses on hydrogen, CO2 and other low carbon technologies and aims to accelerate practical solutions designed to tackle climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is based in Cary, North Carolina.
