Green Carbon Market By Source (Biomass, Environmental), By Application (Supercapacitor, Fuel Cell, Lithium-ion Batteries, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2025-2031
The green carbon market is expected to value for $16.8 million in 2025 and is estimated to reach $32.9 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Green/bio-based carbon is termed as the carbon can be produced from biomass through pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization. Moreover, it is stored in the biosphere, taken up from the atmosphere by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Green carbon ecosystems, such as those in natural forests, play a key role in impacting the levels of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
The green carbon is under pilot phase and is expected to commercialize in the global market by 2025. Several key companies such as Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., TEIJIN LIMITED, Charm Industrial, Drax, Clean Energy Systems, and others are constantly engaged in R&D activities to produce highly efficient green carbon at reduced prices. Furthermore, government agencies such as European Union (EU), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), and others are promoting the development of green carbon. For instance, European Union has launched a program in 2020 named as Green Carbon 2020 to promote the utilization of green carbon for sustainable economy and to attract investments in the field. This factor has fueled R&D activities in the green carbon sector.
Increase in awareness for eco-friendly activities coupled with rapid transition toward sustainable energy sources has surged the popularity of biomass-derived carbon owing to its environment-friendly properties. This factor is anticipated to augment the growth of the biomass-derived carbon during the forecast period. Furthermore, governments of various economies have put more emphasis on promotion and utilization of bio-based energy sources. This event may further aid the demand for biomass-derived carbon among various end-use sectors; thus, fueling the market growth.
Furthermore, Carbon sequestration from plants, soil, marine, or other ecosystems is under pilot phase. A lot of research is going on to find the efficient way for carbon capturing from green ecosystem. According to a research article published by the University of California in 2021, carbon is sequestered in soil by plants through photosynthesis and can be stored as soil organic carbon (SOC). Agroecosystems can degrade and deplete the SOC levels but this carbon deficit opens up opportunity to store carbon through new land management practices. Moreover, the increase in attempts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and global carbon footprint may aid the development of environmental carbon sequestration activities during the forecast period.
However, high formulation costs and requirement of skilled workforce in manufacturing green carbon may restrain the growth of the green carbon market during the forecast period.
On the contrary, companies are moving toward sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives for developing and strengthening their brand image with rise in environmental concerns among consumers. For instance, leading companies, such Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., Drax, Clean Energy Systems, and others focus on the use of bio-based carbon for energy conversion, storage, and other applications. Thus, the increase in CSR activities of the companies is projected to fuel the demand for green carbon and promote the investor’s interest toward the green/bio-based carbon industry.
Furthermore, huge R&D investment is required to transform the innovations done in the development of highly efficient green/bio-based carbon into commercialization and the research should continue to increase efficiency of the material, simplify their synthesis, and maximize the usage of potential bio-based carbon across several end-use sectors. The manufacturers will be able to produce more valuable and less expensive green carbon with this development. This factor is projected to create remunerative opportunities for the green carbon market in the coming future.
