Biochar Feedstock Survey

Supercritical is working with a large carbon removal buyer on an exciting research project to evaluate how biochar can meaningfully contribute to gigatonne-scale carbon removal by 2050. We're speaking to people with on-the-ground experience to understand where the constraints and opportunities are.


This form takes 5 minutes and covers the practical challenges of working with different feedstocks, and how you expect pricing to move over the next few years. We will aggregate and anonymize your responses for analysis. We won't share your specific data with third parties without your consent.


Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.





Project information


Select the primary technology used at this project. If you use more than one technology, please submit a separate form for each — prioritize your biggest project if you can only submit once.

For both distributed and industrial facilities, a site should represent an individual project ID on a registry, not individual locations.

Feedstock challenges

As the people transforming biomass to biochar on a daily basis, you have the best view of what's really holding biochar production back and what's needed to unlock gigatonne scale growth.


If you operate multiple sites with different feedstocks, please describe your full operation here — for example: "site 1 = wood waste, site 2 = rice husks". Later provide your capacity, growth, and pricing figures as a combined total across all sites. If a challenge or detail is specific to one feedstock, please indicate which one.



Please select all that apply.

Please select all that apply.

Please provide the specific feedstock being used as well as percentage splits if multiple, current amount available. Expansion potential with this feedstock.

Select the 3–5 options that most apply across your feedstock(s). If a challenge is specific to one feedstock rather than all of them, please note which one in the box below.

Tell us more about the challenges you selected above, and what's needed to address them — this might be funding, a new technology, a policy change, or something specific to your project. If different feedstocks face different challenges, please specify which feedstock each point relates to.

2026/2027 Availability and capacity


For 2026 and 2027, please share your predicted total production capacity and the amount of carbon credits you have remaining available to sell. Don't include anything still dependent on new funding or an offtake — that comes in the next section.


Pricing is indicative only and won't be treated as a binding quote.


If your project is currently unfunded, please skip this section.

Predicted future carbon credit capacity

From 2028 onwards, tell us your production capacity across all planned sites under two scenarios:

  • Conservative expansion capacity: your cautious estimate of total capacity without a major unlock or offtake.
  • Optimistic expansion capacity: total capacity if a significant unlock happens (e.g. a large offtake, new technology, new financing)


This section is about total production capacity not credit availability and should include any capacity already under offtake.


For price, please quote the actual $/tCO2e you'd expect to receive in that year — including your own expectations for inflation, real cost changes and margin.

Expected future prices of biochar carbon credits

We appreciate this won’t be perfectly modeled, we're looking for your directional sense of where prices are going rather than a precise forecast. All figures here are for research purposes only; we will never quote or share your specific numbers with customers or third parties as part of a deal.
