Global Biochar Market Overview

The Global Biochar Market size is expected to grow from USD 1.13 billion in 2022 to USD 2.92 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.6% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Soil is the main source and an abode for many nutrients and microflora that are required for the growth of crops. Ever-increasing population and excessive addition of chemical fertilizers have resulted in rapid depletion of agricultural areas and soil quality thus, promoting the need for sustainable approaches in agricultural crop production. Several studies have reported that crop growth and yield are significantly increased by using biochar. Biochar is carbonized biomass that is obtained from sustainable raw materials and sequestered in soils to enhance their beneficial agricultural and environmental value under present and future management. This differentiates it from charcoal which is widely utilized as fuel for heat, as a filter, as a reductant in iron-making, or as a coloring agent in industry or art. Due to its porous nature, it helps in retaining water and nutrients in the soil thereby, supporting plants as they grow. The process by which feedstock is converted into biochar is called a thermochemical reaction. Pyrolysis, combustion, and gasification are the major thermochemical processes employed. The growing popularity of biochar attributed to its benefits and the rise in climate change are the prominent factors anticipated to promote the development of the biochar market over the analysis period.

Market Dynamics And Factors For Biochar Market

Drivers:

Alternative to Chemicals Used in Waste Water Treatment

Biochar has high carbon content, large surface area, multiple functional groups, and enhanced pore volume. These properties enable the compound to exhibit excellent adsorption ability for a broad range of organic and inorganic pollutants found in water streams and wastewater. These contaminants can be disposed of by employing conventional approaches like membrane separation, ion exchange, or chemical precipitation, however, there are concerns regarding the cost-effectiveness of these processes and chemical residues left. Biochar’s beneficial physicochemical properties such as acid-base behavior, surface area, element composition, porosity, and surface functional groups, make it an economical and compelling alternative to remove a wide spectrum of pollutants such as phenols, antibiotics, pesticides, heavy metals, ammonium ion, nitrate, dyes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phosphate and fluoride from wastewater and sewage.

In recent years biochar has gained tremendous popularity as an efficient approach to removing inorganic ions including phosphorus and nitrogen from wastewater along with fluorine from drinkable water. According to a study by Utrecht University and the United Nations University, 359 billion cubic meters of wastewater are generated each year across the globe. With only 50% of the total wastewater recycled each year, the rest is dumped in the oceans thus polluting them. This deficit in water treatment needs to be addressed in order to prevent the contamination of ocean water and surrounding ecology. Biochar presents a significant approach as it is economical and effective as other treatment procedures.

In urban areas, stormwater runoff contains numerous pollutants that pose a risk to contaminate the surface water. In such scenarios, biochar is utilized to remove indicator pathogens and organisms during water treatment. The treated water ensures safe surface water for irrigation, avoiding changes in vegetable contamination. Increasing wastewater concern is anticipated to stimulate the demand for biochar thereby, strengthening the growth of the market over the analysis period.

Restraints:

High Upfront Cost and Production of Toxic Compounds as By-Product

Chars and bio-oils produced during pyrolysis may also contain toxic substances such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins. Evidence suggests that pyrolysis reactors operating between 350 °C and 600 °C can also produce small amounts of PAHs. Large amounts of PAHs are produced in chemical reactions at temperatures over 700 °C.  Dioxins primarily form at temperatures above 1,000 °C and when chlorine and metals are absent, the number of dioxins produced is significantly reduced. The production of these toxins along with the desired biochar compound may hamper the biochar market growth over the analysis period. In addition, expensive, sophisticated pyrolysis equipment is needed for the production of biochar. These factors may refrain manufacturers with less investment to enter the market thus, hindering the development of the biochar market in the forecasted period.

Opportunity:

The Low-Middle Income Countries

Wastewater has been a matter of concern for several years. Various technologies have been adopted by high-income countries to treat wastewater and make it reusable for irrigation and other activities. However, as these treatment methods are expensive, developing and underdeveloped nations can't afford them. According to the 2017 UN World Water Development Report, Wastewater: The Untapped Resource, on average, high-income nations treat about 70% of the generated municipal and industrial wastewater. When compared with the upper-middle-income nations this ratio drops to 38%. In low-income countries, only 8% of the wastewater is treated and reused for irrigation and other purposes. With support from the World Bank and the UN, various programs have been launched in these regions to overcome water scarcity and produce potable waste from sewage water. These efforts are paving the way for market players to introduce their products in these regions thereby strengthening the expansion of the market in this region.

Challenges:

Regulations Regarding the Use of Biochar

In 2016, the European Commission (EC) announced a new regulation on a wide range of fertilizing products (revision of EC Regulation 2003/2003) as part of a package to stimulate the circular economy within the EU27. The European Parliament (EP) and the Council both amended the proposal. The EP agreed to a series of amendments in October of the same year, and the Council agreed to a proposal in December 2017. Biochar is expected to be included in the REACH regulation (EC Regulation 1907/2006) as a result of this new legislative framework. This regulation establishes a system for chemical registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction. If fertilizer is sold in quantities of one tonne or more per year, a REACH registration is required.

Segmentation Analysis Of Biochar Market

By Feedstock, the woody biomass segment is estimated to lead the growth of the biochar market over the projected period. Biochar can be made from woody biomass such as wood chips, sawdust, shavings, or bark that is generated during timber harvesting or as a byproduct of the manufacturing of wood products. The Wood Recyclers Association (WRA) of the UK reported that the amount of waste wood processed in the country increased from 3.82 million tons in 2020 to 4.17 million tons last year, with total waste wood collected returning to pre-pandemic levels of 4.5 million tons. WRA also stated that biomass would continue to be the largest user of waste wood in 2021, accounting for 61% of total waste wood processed, a 5.5% increase over the previous year. Wood waste from all 28 EU countries accounted for approximately 50.2 MT. In the United States, approximately 55.75 MT of wood waste was generated in 2020. As the construction industry expands the demand for furniture also increases thereby, generating more wood waste. Due to the above-mentioned factors, the wood biomass segment is expected to dominate the market in the forecasted period.

By Technology, the pyrolysis segment is anticipated to have the highest share during the analysis period. Pyrolysis is the most common biochar production technology, and it also occurs in the early stages of the combustion and gasification processes. Aside from biochar, modern pyrolyzers can produce bio-oil and gas. If derived from sustainably produced biomass, these could be refined into a variety of chemicals and/or used as sources of renewable energy. During the pyrolysis process, pyrolysis gases known as syngas are produced. As the produced syngas is combusted and heat is released, the process becomes self-sustaining. Fast pyrolysis and slow pyrolysis are the two types of pyrolysis systems in use today. Slow pyrolysis produces more syngas while fast pyrolysis produces more oils and liquids. Furthermore, the addition of continuous feed pyrolyzers in the coming years is expected to bolster segment growth throughout the projected period.

By Application, the agriculture segment is anticipated to dominate in the forecasted timeframe. The global agricultural land area is approximately five billion hectares or 38% of the total land surface. One-third of this is cropland, with the remaining two-thirds being meadows and pastures for grazing livestock. Food demand is increasing as the global population grows, with the world's population more than doubling between 1961 and 2021. The use of synthetic fertilizers diminishes both the feasibility of land and crop yield. Biochar can have a wide range of effects on different crops and soils. It has been observed to increase the yield on low fertile soils and in areas where a deep soil layer (organic) cannot be easily created. Biochar can help improve water management in drought-prone areas where water is expensive. Biochar can help trees produce nuts or fruit earlier in some types of perennial agriculture. Biochar can also increase the marketability of agricultural products by reducing metal absorption by plants, especially when the soil is toxic. These factors are anticipated to support the development of the segment over the forecasted period.

Regional Analysis Of Biochar Market

The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to dominate the growth of the biochar market over the analysis period. India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia are the prominent countries supporting the growth of the market in this region. Developing countries in this region have acknowledged the role of biochar in electricity generation and have made plans to promote its usage. In India, fossil-based resources have been the core of electricity generation. It has the most installed capacity for electricity generation (59.9%) and supply (78.2%) in the country. Despite increased coal production, domestic coal supply is insufficient to meet thermal power plants (TPPs) coal demand. For electricity generation, India imports roughly one-third of its annual coal consumption. Furthermore, coal is regarded as the most polluting source of electricity generation. Under the Paris Agreement, India has committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 33-35% below 2005 levels by 2030, and the government is looking for alternative energy sources to meet this goal. The Indian government has ambitious plans to incorporate biochar into energy production. The results show that biochar produced from the identified agro resources is suitable for cofiring with coal at temperatures ranging from 400 °C to 500 °C. 121 MT of surplus residues from the selected crops could yield 40 MT of biochar with a potential electricity generation capacity of 90 TWh. The production of green energy from biochar can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions thereby, supporting the growth of the biochar market in this region over the forecasted period.

The European region is estimated to have the second highest share of the biochar market attributed to the increasing number of manufacturing plants. In the European region, more than 25 new systems were commissioned in 2021 thus, bringing the total number of operational plants to more than 100. This number suggests a rapid growth of the biochar industry in Europe. The production capacity reached 35,000 tonnes in 2021 (actual production of 20,000 tonnes) owing to the tremendous growth in the last decade. Growth rates for cumulative production capacity are expected to accelerate further in 2022, with a three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 67% projected between 2019 and 2022. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Scandinavian countries (most notably Sweden) dominated European biochar production during the same period, accounting for more than 75% of the market. The region harvests nearly 2,000,000 tonnes of biomass waste per year and has the potential to produce 491,000 tonnes of biochar per year, a significant amount with an estimated economic value of more than 850 million euros. This market potential alone presents attractive investment opportunities thereby, supporting the development of the biochar market over the forecasted timeframe.

The following pie chart depicts the biochar production by region

 

The biochar market in the North American region is estimated to develop at a significant growth rate over the analysis period. Dovetail Partners Inc. concluded that the future of the biochar industry was promising in a 2018 survey of the US biochar industry. Before this survey, the US Biochar Initiative (USBI) estimated annual industry production at 15,000-20,000 tons per year (TPY). The Dovetail survey suggested a production rate of 35,000 to 70,000 TPY between 2018-2022. Furthermore, according to a Wiley article, as of December 2018, the United States had 35 policies that directly or indirectly support and promote the use of biochar. Some of these policies are tailored toward energy and food production, environmental remediation and climate change management, and agricultural waste management. 15 of the 35 programs provide financial benefits, 8 provide R&D funding, and the rest help to increase financial awareness. Thus, the increase in production and supportive government policies are anticipated to strengthen the growth of the biochar market in this region.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis On Biochar Market

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the usage of Personal protective equipment (PPE) increased rapidly to curb the spread of the virus. The pandemic had an impact on the manufacture, usage, disposal, and recycling of plastic products. Plastics are used to make disposable PPE (such as face masks, gloves, gowns, eye protection, and filtering facepiece respirators). Countries across the globe made wearing a face mask or a face covering in public places mandatory. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, it is estimated that 1.6 million tons of plastic waste have been generated per day worldwide. This equates to 75 kg of plastic waste generated per person per year. During the peak infection period, it is estimated that 129 billion face masks and 65 billion gloves were used globally. Every day, approximately 3.4 billion single-use facemasks/face shields were also discarded globally. To address the issues caused by excessive plastic use, innovative solutions to upcycle plastic waste have been implemented around the world. According to research, co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic waste produced a high amount of bio-oil but a low production of biochar. Thus, novel technologies for recovering biochar from plastic wastes can be used to not only remediate the plastic-contaminated environment but also to mitigate environmental issues. The pandemic has played a supportive role in the development of the biochar market and is anticipated to do the same in the forecasted timeframe.
