Use of Granular Biochar in Water and Wastewater Treatment Fuels North America Granular Biochar Market
Water and wastewater treatment are one of the emerging application sectors of granular biochar. Due to the properties of large surface area and pore volume, rich organic carbon content, and diverse functional groups, biochar displays a prominent sorption ability for inorganic and organic contaminants in aqueous solutions. Granular biochar is becoming a new approach for removing various contaminants from industrial wastewater for heavy metals and organic compounds. The biochar has a good adsorption effect on typical pollutants of livestock wastewater, such as organic pollutants, heavy metals, and nutrients. The availability of quality water is decreasing and is a crucial problem afflicting all continents. Water scarcity is being faced across the globe. Hence, many governments are focusing on waste and wastewater treatment activities. With this, the use of granular biochar in water and wastewater treatment is increasing, fueling market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, in anticipation of stricter regulatory standards governing water quality, industries are increasingly turning to granular biochar as a proactive measure to meet and exceed these requirements. This trend underscores the pivotal role that granular biochar is playing in addressing the evolving challenges within the water and wastewater treatment sector, positioning itself as a key player in the quest for more sustainable and effective water treatment technologies.
North America Granular Biochar Market Overview
The granular biochar market in North America is growing due to an increase in population and government subsidies, strong economies, robust food safety nets, and agricultural finance systems. With the increasing population in the region, the demand for fertilizers to boost crop productivity is increasing. Granular biochar is widely used in fertilizers to improve nutrient content and water holding capacity. Further, as per the reports of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), North America is the highest-ranking region for food affordability. In 2022, the contribution of agriculture to the US gross domestic product (GDP) was more significant than 1.1% because agricultural sectors rely on agricultural inputs to contribute added value to the economy. With the increase in agricultural production in the region, the demand for granular biochar is increasing. Granular biochar is also beneficial in improving environmental sustainability. North America promotes the practice of balancing the growth of the agricultural sector with other sectors of the economy. The growth of the agriculture industry in the region is achieved by using organic fertilizer and granular biochar produced by pyrolysis or thermal decomposition of organic matter in an oxygen-starved chamber. When compared to other synthetic fertilizers, awareness about the benefits of biochar is very high. Further, the increasing knowledge among the farming community about the benefits of products such as granular biochar helps maintain soil fertility, acidity and nutrient value content will drive the demand for granular biochar in North America.
