Biochar Market size is anticipated to be valuated at USD 2864.5 Million by 2035; Biochar Emerges as a Key Enabler in Sustainable and Climate-Smart Agriculture

Published Date: August 2025

Biochar is a substance similar to charcoal that comes from plants like grass, and parts of the forest or farm that rot at high heat. This is usually a part of making clean power. The material's properties have changed, and it is now very porous, stable, and carbon-rich. Biochar is mainly a soil amendment to make soil more fertile, hold water, and increase farm productivity. The material is also used for carbon capture, cleaning wastewater, and as an additive to animal feed.

The growth of the biochar market is driven by the rising awareness of sustainable agriculture practices and the need for carbon sequestration to mitigate against climate change. The increased demand for organic food along with the government's incentives supporting the use of bio-based soil amendments, is also fomenting the uptake of this product.

Key Highlights:

  • In October 2024, Myno Carbon received USD 20.4 million from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Fertilizer Production Expansion Program to construct a biochar carbon removal facility (CRF 001) in Port Angeles, Washington. The facility will increase the production of biochar-enhanced fertilizers that improve crop yields, enhance water retention, reduce nutrient loss, and support sustainable agricultural practices.
  • In December 2023, Carbonfuture, in partnership with the Bolivia-based Exomad Green Concepción project, announced an agreement with Microsoft to deliver more than 32,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide removal credits. This agreement is a part of Microsft’s ongoing efforts to achieve carbon negativity by 2030 and eliminate all past emissions by 2050.

Biochar in Energy Production:

In regions that rely on biomass energy, as is the case for most of rural Africa as well as large areas in Asia and Latin America, pyrolysis bioenergy provides opportunities for more efficient-energy production than wood burning. It also widens the options for the types of biomass that can be used for generating energy, going beyond wood to include, for example, crop residues. A main benefit may be that pyrolysis offers clean heat, which is needed to develop cooking technology with lower indoor pollution by smoke.
