IETA has launched a new Carbon Management Business Brief on Biochar, exploring one of the fastest-growing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathways in global carbon markets.
The brief provides an overview of how biochar credits are generated, current market and policy developments, applicable methodologies and standards, and key considerations around durability, MRV, biomass sourcing, and market integrity.
The Business Brief also examines:
- Voluntary and compliance market developments
- Biochar applications across agriculture, construction, and industrial products
- Key pricing and issuance trends
- The evolving policy outlook across jurisdictions including the EU, UK, and Japan
- The role of robust accounting, verification, and transparency in scaling credible removals markets
As demand for high-integrity carbon removals continues to grow, biochar is increasingly emerging as a scalable near-term CDR pathway with expanding market relevance.
This is the first of a series of Carbon Management Business Briefs, set to launch over the course of 2026. Stay tuned for future editions.
This Business Brief was last updtaed in June 2026.
