Global Biochar Market By Application Overview

Introduction:

Biochar is defined as a carbon-rich material produced during the pyrolysis process which is the thermochemical decomposition of biomass with temperatures ≤700°C in the absence or limited supply of oxygen. Biochar is mainly used in soil amendment to improve soil health, nutrient and microbial carrier, immobilizing agent to treat toxic metals and organic contaminants in soil and water, catalyst for industrial applications, porous material. Biochar is a charcoal-like material made from  forest waste, agriculture waste and other pollutants residues that decomposes at high temperatures, often during renewable energy production, Biochar is charcoal used to improve soil fertility, biochar is a carbonaceous product, a stable solid. Biochar is also used in carrier flavors sweeteners and any other ingredient in chewing gums. It is a cost-effective solution for energy production and thus the use of this product is increasing rapidly worldwide. The production of this chari is also very easy and convenient. The increasing use of these chars for power generation creates lucrative opportunities for the market over the forecast period. The use of biochar in water treatment processes is predicted to become another important application in the near future, especially in emerging nations, due to the increasing demand for water treatment facilities. Furthermore, production of biochar using biogas and crop residues will support the market growth throughout the forecast period. Global Biochar Market size accounted for US$ 1580.59 million in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 6189.16 million by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 14.7%.

Global Biochar Market By Application Dynamics

                                    Growing use of biochar and High Costs of Biochar

The growing use of biochar in power generation, pharmaceutical and forestry technology and growing demand for biochar for its health benefits in most sectors globally are the major drivers of the global market. However, high investment and technological barriers in remote areas may restrain the growth of the global biochar market during the forecast period. Biochar is a cost-effective, waste-reducing, pollution-free and inexpensive raw material. It has several uses one of which is livestock feed, this product is used to improve the health of animals and provide them with organic nutrients. The use of this substance as feed helps in the absorption and digestion of toxins in the animal's body. Farmers in some areas have started feeding cows daily. Thus, the demand in the industry increases and the market grows during the forecast period. On the other hand, biochar production is an expensive process that requires a variety of sophisticated and expensive pyrolysis equipment. Furthermore, since it requires an oxygen-free environment at a certain temperature, the pyrolysis gas obtained during biochar production is expensive to store and transport. This makes it difficult for producers with limited investment capital to enter the biochar market.

Technological advancement

Lack of efficient technologies for low-emission biochar production, especially for remote or mobile production, has hindered biochar market value in recent times. Adoption of chemical-free farming techniques is becoming more popular as people become aware of the health benefits of organic food. Thermochemical techniques is used for biochar production include pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, gasification, flash carbonization, and torrefaction. Thermochemical conversion techniques are pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), gasification, torrefaction and hydrothermal liquefaction. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical technique that produces biochar, bio-oil and syngas from biomass. This process involves heating and thermally decomposing biomass under anaerobic conditions with temperatures between 400°C and 1200°C or under limited oxygen supply (low stoichiometric oxygen atmosphere).
