Europe Biochar Market

Europe Biochar Market Size, Growth, Trends, and Forecast:

The Europe Biochar Market was worth USD 0.59 billion in 2021 and is estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 13.6%, to reach USD 0.72 billion by 2026. Biochar is fine-grained charcoal rich in carbon, prepared by heating biomass in oxygen-free air. It is added to soil to enhance the physical and chemical properties in order to amount of crops produced. The market has a high growth rate due to increasing food demand and decreasing soil quality due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers.

Apart from increasing the soil quality as they have a lot of nutrients, biochar has other advantages like retaining carbon into the soil from the atmosphere. It can be used for capturing the greenhouse gas CO2, responsible for global warming. It can retain nutrients from flowing soil water. Producing biochar results in additional energy which can be used again for the same process. It also increases the quality of soil by absorption of water.
