Chemical and Materials Research

Biochars are defined as solid, carbon-rich materials which are added in soil to improve soil characteristics and agronomic performance. It is produced with the help of pyrolysis by using several biomasses. According to various studies, the use of biochar as a fertilizer to boost the crop growth and yield. Biochar-based compound fertilizers (BCF) and amendments also helps to alter soil properties in the form of pH, nutrients, organic matter, structure etc. Biochar fertilizer market has witnessed a significant growth owing to factors such as rise in adoption of organic farming is expected to promote plant's growth. Moreover, government initiatives and support which provides a huge market opportunity for the key players operating in the biochar fertilizer market. However, slow economic growth is projected to hamper the overall growth of the biochar fertilizer market Click Here to Download PDF Info The "Global Biochar fertilizer Market Analysis to 2027" is a specialized and i...

Biochar is one of the type of charcoal that is used as a soil amendment for both soil health benefits and carbon sequestration. Biochar is a stable solid and is rich in carbon; also, it can endure in soil up to thousands of years. Like most of the charcoal, biochar is also made from biomass through pyrolysis. Various research is going on biochar as a viable approach for carbon sequestration since it has the capabilities to help mitigate climate change and global warming. Biochar can increase soil fertility of acidic soils (low pH soils), increase agricultural productivity, and provide protection against some foliar and soil-borne diseases. By nature, biochar is hygroscopic. Hence, it is a desirable soil material in many locations due to its ability to attract and retain water. When biochar is used for energy production instead of a soil amendment, it can be directly substituted for other application that uses coal. Pyrolysis can also be the most cost-effective way of electricity genera...
