Buyers secure 81% of high-quality biochar supply by July 2026
A new report by Supercritical indicates that buyers committed to 81% of high-quality biochar carbon removal supply by July 2026, three months earlier than in 2025. This accelerated procurement led to buyers purchasing ten times more biochar volumes in H1 2026 than in all of 2025, excluding Microsoft. The report highlights a market shift towards structured, multi-year procurement over ad hoc spot purchases. Supercritical also notes that spot prices for biochar credits tend to increase in the second half of the year, with a project's credits rising from $155 per tonne in July 2025 to $185 by November. Biochar currently accounts for over twice the volume of all other permanent CO2 removal methods combined.
