Participate Now: 2nd Global Biochar Market Survey

The International Biochar Initiative (IBI), the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal, and the US Biochar Initiative (USBI) are teaming up to create the most comprehensive snapshot of the global biochar industry in 2025.

The second Global Biochar Market Survey is now open through November 12, 2025! 

Building off 2023’s dataset, the industry survey will provide material for free-access reports released in 2026 that will: 

  • Benchmark market performance, including global and regional production, economic value, and growth potential
  • Identify key obstacles and opportunities in different segments of the biochar sector
  • Characterize biochar-based products based on end user needs, costs, benefits, and competition

Why this initiative matters to:

  • Producers & suppliers → see how the industry is scaling, provide feedback to biochar organizations, and identify competitive advantages
  • Carbon removal market actors & investors → access credible, quantifiable data to validate pathways and target high-potential markets
  • Farmers, land managers, and end users → provide feedback to the biochar sector to help shape products that meet your needs and deliver real value
  • Project developers & startups → gain insights for planning, fundraising, and building business cases
  • Technology suppliers & innovators → understand regional demand, product trends, and growth drivers for new solutions

Your voice matters. This survey is for the entire biochar ecosystem — and the reports will only be as complete as the data we receive. That’s where you come in.  

Estimated completion time: 10-15 minutes.

Whether you’re a producer, supplier, project developer, or end-user, your perspective will strengthen the field as well as forecast growth, opportunities, and market trends. Your participation helps generate findings for the industry’s use in project planning, scaling, and stakeholder engagement.
