This includes biochar incorporated into value added products like drywall or water treatment. It also includes biochar spread on agricultural land or forests. This market is feedstock agnostic, as long as overall co2eq sequestration is achieved.
Total sequestered is net. The 100gt must not include losses to the air over time, and must be on top of compensation for the co2eq released during biochar manufacture.
It has potential as a mature technology that is scalable. It has some value as a soil additive and a product. As timber, biofibers and mycelium start to replace concrete and steel, waste products suited for biochar will increase. Enough though?
