Global Biochar Market size is projected to be valued $17,050 Thousand by 2024; with a CAGR of 16.2% from 2017 to 2025. Biochar is a steady solid, carbon rich charcoal produced by heating various waste products such as wood waste, forest waste, agricultural waste, and animal manure. Various technologies such as microwave pyrolysis and gasification are used for biochar production. Biochar produced through modern pyrolysis procedures is rich in carbon and is very fine-grained residue.
Waste management potential, enhanced soil fertility and crop yield, increased government initiatives and strict environment regulations and natural carbon sequestration property of biochar are the factors driving the growth of biochar market. Though, lack of consumer awareness about the benefits of biochar may hinder the growth of the market. Moreover, emerging economies and growing biofuel sector might provide with several growth opportunities in the forecasted years.
The global biochar market is segmented on the basis of feedstock, technology, application, and geography. The market is segmented by feedstock as agriculture waste, forestry waste,animal manure, and biomass plantation.
