Israel Biochar Market Outlook

the israel biochar market has vast potential to address the country’s commitments to reduce carbon emission, enhance soil fertility, and converting forest/agricultural waste to marketable product. the major use of biochar in the country is as a soil amendment for improving soil fertility, followed by water filtration and carbon sequestering. the current market scenario in israel indicates that biochar is mostly being used in agriculture for crop production, although, the potential usage can be in various other applications such as gasification, landfilling, animal bedding, and other industrial applications. the demand for biochar has been increasing in the country in recent years, due to the growing awareness about the environmental benefits of this product. for instance, according to a report by the israel ministry of environment and local government (molg), the annual production capacity of biochar is expected to reach 2000 tons (out of which 800 tons will be used in israel) by 2022. the aggressive and long-term policies adopted by the government are also responsible for the increasing demand for biochar in the country. the israel ministry of agriculture and rural development is providing subsidies to slow-release energy production plants, in order to shift its energy dependency from oil to alternative sources like biogas and biochar. thus, the government policies also play an important role in the growth of the biochar market. apart from this, the increase in the number of research and development activities involving biochar is expected to fuel the demand for this product in the country. also, the presence of numerous international and local biochar manufacturers in israel is likely to drive the growth of the market. overall, the outlook of the israel biochar market during the period 2018 to 2032 is quite positive. the increasing demand for biochar will be further supported by various factors such as the government’s efforts to shift towards renewable sources of energy, encouragement of research, investment in biogas and biochar technology and the subsequent increase in its production. consequently, the israel biochar market is expected to witness remarkable progress in the forecasted period.
