세계의 바이오차 시장(2026-2036년)

The global biochar market stands at a pivotal moment, transforming from a niche agricultural amendment into one of the world's most critical carbon removal technologies. Recognized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as one of the five most effective negative-emission solutions for long-term carbon sequestration, biochar has emerged as the cornerstone of corporate decarbonization strategies worldwide. This carbon-rich material, produced through the controlled thermal decomposition of organic biomass in oxygen-limited environments, offers a unique combination of permanence, scalability, and cost-effectiveness that has fundamentally reshaped the carbon removal landscape.

The market's rapid evolution reflects biochar's superior attributes compared to other carbon removal technologies. As one of the most scalable and cost-effective engineered carbon removal methods available, biochar has captured the attention of 80% of corporate buyers seeking durable carbon sequestration solutions. This overwhelming preference stems from biochar's exceptional permanence characteristics - the material can sequester carbon for hundreds to thousands of years when properly applied to soils or integrated into construction materials, providing the long-term storage capabilities that corporate net-zero strategies demand. However, this surge in recognition has created an unprecedented supply-demand imbalance that is fundamentally altering market dynamics. The statistics paint a stark picture of market tightness: 62% of high-quality biochar capacity for 2025 is already locked into contracts by repeat buyers, with an additional 28% secured through 2026. This pre-commitment of supply reflects the strategic shift by sophisticated corporate buyers toward securing long-term access to premium carbon removal credits through offtake agreements, leaving minimal availability for new market entrants or companies pursuing spot market purchases.

The supply constraints have manifested in significant price appreciation, with biochar prices rising 18% in 2024 alone. This price momentum reflects not just supply-demand fundamentals but also the market's recognition of biochar's superior quality and permanence compared to traditional carbon offsets. Despite these price increases, companies demonstrating foresight by signing multi-year offtake agreements are achieving substantial cost advantages, saving up to 31% compared to spot market purchases. These savings underscore the strategic value of long-term contracting in a supply-constrained market while providing biochar producers with the revenue certainty needed to finance capacity expansion.

The market outlook reveals a dramatic scaling challenge that will define the industry's trajectory over the next decade. Corporate demand for durable carbon removal is projected to reach 40-200 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) per year by 2030, representing potential growth of 25 times current market size. This explosive demand growth is driven by the maturation of Science-Based Targets initiatives, increasing regulatory requirements for carbon removal, and growing corporate recognition that traditional offset approaches lack the permanence and additionality required for credible net-zero strategies. Yet current supply falls far short of these projections, creating what industry analysts describe as a "biochar gold rush" among corporate buyers. The supply-demand imbalance is exacerbated by the time required to develop new production capacity, the need for sustainable feedstock sourcing, and the technical complexity of producing high-quality biochar that meets stringent carbon removal standards.

This market dynamic positions biochar at the center of a broader transformation in climate finance, where permanent carbon removal is becoming a distinct asset class commanding premium pricing. For producers, the opportunity represents unprecedented growth potential supported by long-term contracted revenue streams. For buyers, the challenge is securing adequate supply at manageable costs while the market undergoes rapid expansion and maturation.
