Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Rising Agricultural Adoption:

The biochar market is exploding with growth as agricultural biochar applications boom. Many farmers and agronomists are now recognizing the value of biochar and appropriate uses: soil health, soil moisture retention, reduced reliance on chemical fertilizer, and carbon capture. The uptick in biochar use is even more quickly growing with the government and Development NGOs staying engaged with biochar. Both parts of society offer biochar use subsidies and are promoting outreach programs on the benefits of biochar use. There has never been a better time to tackle the challenge of making biochar a useful part of the marketplace, now that the demand for biochar use is on the upsurge, biochar is likely to play an intersectional role in stimulating climate-smart Haitian farming practices and with the increased prominence of regenerative agriculture, especially in areas of soil degradation. Agribusiness, and small farming formations, are quickly working to integrate biochar into their work.

• Carbon Credit Incentives:

There is quickening demand for biochar. It sequesters carbon and qualifies for carbon credit programs. Companies and governments are funding biochar and investing in its use to reduce emissions and meet sustainability targets. Opportunities are emerging for the voluntary carbon marketplace. The projects that produce biochar create high-quality, verifiable credits - these are not only attractive to future value in carbon credits as financing, but they can be a near-term opportunity for financing that get biochar startups established and help companies with their commitment to sustainability and climate action. As company and government carbon pricing diverge, biochar may fill their value proposition. Producers will scale and create more biochar and potentially, it may be made competitive with other industries working on incorporating biochar into their net-zero solution.

• Urban Waste-to-Value Shift:

Urban waste management challenges are motivating interest in biochar and its potential role for cities and waste processors to generate biochar from organic waste (including food scraps and yard waste) using pyrolysis as a way to not only consume waste and generate revenue upon the sale of biochar, but to meet global zero-waste targets and as a part of urban sustainability efforts through increased demand for biochar. Smaller-scale pyrolysis systems now provide some communities local opportunities for biochar production, giving them back at least a little of they have lost regarding some of the market's control over them, rather than local demand being used to increase demand for biochar. Contextually, globally, waste management and biochar are figuring out ways of addressing urban sustainability issues.
