Commercial Prospects of Biochar Amendments in Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains
Author(s): Amara Okafor
Abstract: Biochar, a carbon-rich material obtained by pyrolyzing biomass under oxygen-limited conditions, is increasingly viewed as a transformative input for sustainable agriculture. Beyond its ability to improve soil fertility, biochar has gained recognition as a durable form of carbon sequestration, linking agriculture with emerging carbon removal markets. Its commercialization is closely tied to agricultural supply chains, which are under pressure to enhance productivity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and deliver regenerative outcomes. This paper explores the commercial prospects of biochar amendments, covering feedstock sourcing, conversion technologies, product formulation, agronomic performance, integration into input markets, carbon credit opportunities, and policy frameworks. Data tables from global meta-analyses, techno-economic studies, and pyrolysis performance trials are integrated to highlight practical insights. The analysis demonstrates that biochar can become a strategic enabler for climate-smart supply chains if standardized, economically viable, and embedded in trusted distribution networks.
