LONDON

Technavio has published a new market research report on the global biochar market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.46% from 2015-2019.

About the Report

Biochar is charcoal that is used for specific purposes, including as a soil amendment. According to the latest Technavio report, various types of biomass can be used as feedstock for the production of biochar, including agriculture and forestry waste, industrial byproducts, residential waste, animal wastes and municipal sewage.

“Most of the feedstock is in the form of waste from various sectors like residential, agriculture and forestry. This wide availability of feedstock means there’s a constant supply of cheap raw materials for the production of biochar,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of Technavio.

The market analysis report by Technavio also emphasizes the growing investment in technological R&D and alternative financing mechanisms. One of the main factors restricting the commercialization of biochar is the cost of biochar manufacturing equipment. However, investment made in R&D of biochar production technologies is expected to reduce the manufacturing costs of biochar, thus boosting its availability through the forecast period.
