Latin America Biochar Market Seen Soaring ~14.1% Growth to Reach USD Million by 2033, Projects UnivDatos.

Key Highlights of the Report:

• The biochar adoption in the agri-food sector in Latin America is being driven by soil regeneration requirements and the accumulating pressure on the yield in the agri-food sector.

• The creation of opportunities in regulated and unregulated carbon markets is opening up revenue, certainly, to producers.

• New plants are being de-risked by corporate offtake agreements, and building projects are being financed and constructed faster.

• Policymaking is shifting towards large-scale residue-to-biochar programs in tropical value chains, with the support of policy.

• Its greatest advantage is the high-quality, high-carbon credits made possible through innovative methodologies and circular economy approaches, which respect the value of local residues.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Latin America Biochar Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The Latin American market is being lifted by several forces. Farming requires substances that yield during periods of drought or soil erosion, and biochar provides quantifiable benefits when used with compost or mineral fertilizers. Cities and forestry centers will require a method to dispose of biomass through burning and landfills; hence, the conversion of residues into biochar reduces the costs of disposal and the chances of methane leakage, in addition to producing marketable goods. Corporate customers are broadening the procurement of long-lasting carbon removals that bring in a premium revenue stream in the confirmed projects. The presence of sugarcane mills, sawmills, and coffee processors reduces the logistics of the feedstock and increases uptime through the co-location of the reactors.

Additionally, many of the companies are entering into biochar production in line with the goals to reduce carbon emissions. For instance, in 2024, NetZero, a France-based carbon removal company, received USD 19.5 million in new funding from STOA Infra and Energy with an aim to expand the company’s presence in Brazil.

Segments that transform the industry

• The Latin America biochar market is classified into pyrolysis, gasification systems, and other technologies based on technology. Among them, the pyrolysis segment has occupied the largest market share. Among the main aspects that have helped the market to grow are flexibility of the feedstock through crop residues, forestry waste, and urban green waste; the increased fixed-carbon outputs that can be converted into higher saleable amounts of biochar per ton of biomass; the modular nature of the reactor design with low capex and faster commissioning; the agglomerate reactor capability to be located at the mills and create consistent supply and waste-heat capture; the consistent quality of products, which enhances agronomic performance and carbon crediting.

According to the report, Soil regeneration and yield pressure in agriculture in Latin America have been identified as key drivers for market growth. Some of how this impact has been felt include:

• The farmers in Latin America are left to work within narrow margins due to the high prices of fertilizers, unpredictable rainfall, and soil erosion that limit their production. One solution is biochar, which restores soil structure, enhances cation exchange capacity and water retention, and stabilizes yields in tropical and semi-arid areas. Biochar used with compost or mineral nutrients slows the loss of nutrients to leach and extends the lifespan of fertilizers; hence, the intensity of inputs can be reduced per hectare with no reduction in output. Pasture systems benefit through an increase in the depth of roots and quality of forage, and coffee nurseries and cacao nurseries have documented improved seedlings and resistance to heat and drought. By turning forestry residues and crop waste into an effective amendment, biochar can enable forestry to upcycle their products into a valuable amendment and decrease expenses on disposing of such wastes, especially in supporting circular agriculture. The agronomic benefits go hand in hand with the climate results since biochar has centuries of carbon storage and is capable of cutting emissions of nitrous oxide. Such a twofold advantage is thus experienced in more certain yields among the producers and cooperatives, and possible income from environmental markets.
