- Biochar: a sustainable solution (2020, background): “The cost of biochar production is approximately one-sixth of commercially available activated carbon (McCarl et al. 2009).”
- Effects of pyrolysis temperature on soybean stover- and peanut shell-derived biochar properties and TCE adsorption in water. (2012, background): “The estimated break-even price of BC is US$246 per ton, which is approximately 1/6 of AC ( US$1500 per ton) (Klasson et al., 2009; McCarl et al., 2009).”
- Comparative techno-economic analysis of biohydrogen production via bio-oil gasification and bio-oil reforming. (2013, methodology): “In the case of char, this value is calculated by treating it 163 as a low-value coal substitute (as low as one-half that of coal) in power facilities for 164 electricity generation based on the 20-year price forecast for coal [2, 44].”
- Biochar: a synthesis of its agronomic impact beyond carbon sequestration. (2012, background): “These prices were substantially greater than the 2008 biochar energy value from combustion ($55 Mg−1) or soil application value ($47 Mg−1) (McCarl et al., 2009).”
- Wood-based biochar for the removal of potentially toxic elements in water and wastewater: a critical review (2018, background): “[23,96,214]) reported that the estimated break-even price for biochar is US $246 ton.”
- Cost‐benefit analysis of using biochar to improve cereals agriculture (2015, methodology): “Previous studies resolved these difficulties by direct assumption (Collison et al., 2009; McCarl et al., 2009) or by targeting specific agronomic outcomes such as soil pH (Galinato et al.”
- Economic tradeoff between biochar and bio-oil production via pyrolysis (2011, background): “[15] for more discussion on production costs beyond this formulation.”
- Distributed biochar and bioenergy coproduction: a regionally specific case study of environmental benefits and economic impacts (2013, background): “Significant work has also been conducted in the area of economic assessment of biochar systems (Islam & Ani, 2000; Lin & Hwang, 2009; McCarl et al., 2009; Pratt & Moran, 2010; Roberts et al., 2010; Galinato et al., 2011; Shackley et al., 2011; Yoder et al., 2011).”
