According To A Research Report Published By Spherical Insights & Consulting, The Australia Biochar Market Size Is Anticipated To Reach USD 217.4 Million By 2035, Growing At A CAGR Of 13.52% From 2025 To 2035. The biochar market in Australia is driven by the growing need for sustainable agriculture, soil fertility improvement, carbon sequestration programs, waste biomass usage, government environmental legislation, and growing awareness of environmentally friendly, carbon-negative farming methods.

Market Overview

The market for biochar in Australia consists of carbon-rich, porous materials that are obtained from biomass via pyrolysis and are used for soil fertility restoration, crop yield enhancement, and carbon entrapment. The uses for biochar are very diverse and cover not only agriculture, where it is one of the soil amendments, but also horticulture, livestock raising, and lastly environmental management practices such as the control of water pollution and treatment of waste.

The use of biochar in the agriculture sector of Australia has been supported through various methods such as carbon farming, soil carbon programs, and carbon grants. One of these programs is the Carbon Farming Outreach Program that will provide AUD 17.5 million in grants to trainers who will teach farmers different carbon sequestration techniques. The country's overall plans, along with the carbon credit system, are all directed towards the use of biochar as a part of the solution for emissions and economic sustainability.

In Australia, companies such as Pyrocal and Pure Biochar are expanding their advanced carbonisation and production plants to make high-quality biochar from waste. At the same time, BioCarbon is increasing its output of renewable carbon products. RMIT is working on developing processing technologies for biochar-based bio-oil and catalysts. Potential future applications include carbon credits, soil recovery, and solutions for reducing carbon emissions.

Driving Factors

The biochar market in Australia is driven by sustainable agriculture and soil health improvement, and it is also getting along with the rising awareness about carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation, besides, there is the effective utilization of agricultural and forestry waste. The government support through the carbon farming initiatives, the emissions reduction schemes, and the growing adoption of eco-friendly soil amendments further stimulate market growth, which is also coupled with the interest created by regenerative farming and environmental remediation projects.

Restraining Factors

The biochar market in Australia is mostly constrained by the high costs of production and transportation, lack of farmers' awareness, absence of standardized quality regulations, dubious short-term economic returns, and slow adoption due to limited large-scale demonstration projects and end users' technical knowledge.

Market Segmentation

The Australia biochar market share is classified into technology and application.

• The slow pyrolysis segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Australia biochar market is segmented by technology into slow pyrolysis, fast pyrolysis, gasification, hydrothermal carbonization, and others. Among these, the slow pyrolysis segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. It is the most frequently used and commercially viable technology in Australia due to its high biochar output, reduced operating complexity, affordability, and suitability for agricultural soil amendment applications.

• The farming segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Australia biochar market is segmented by application into farming, gardening, livestock feed, soil, water and air treatment, and others. Among these, the farming segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. This is because biochar is widely used to increase crop yields, soil fertility, and water retention. Regenerative agriculture techniques and carbon farming projects are also becoming more and more popular in Australian agricultural operations.
