このレビューは、南アフリカにおけるバイオ炭を活用した廃棄物資源化システムの社会経済的機会を批判的に検討し、広範な採用戦略を提案する。バイオ炭は気候変動対策（炭素隔離ポテンシャル0.5～3 t CO2-eq/t）と雇用創出（2030年までに5,000のグリーンジョブ）の二重の機能を持つと結論付ける。
English
This review critically examines the socioeconomic opportunities for integrating biochar into South Africa's waste-to-resource systems and proposes a strategy for widespread adoption. It finds that biochar has a dual function: climate change mitigation (carbon sequestration potential: 0.5–3 t CO2-eq/t biochar) and job creation (5,000 green jobs by 2030), providing a framework for other developing economies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は南アフリカを対象としていますが、バイオ炭による炭素除去と廃棄物価値化の枠組みは、日本のカーボンネガティブ戦略やJ-クレジット制度におけるバイオ炭活用の参考になります。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a comprehensive review of biochar's potential in a developing country context, providing evidence for its role in carbon sequestration and green job creation. It contributes to the global discourse on circular bioeconomy and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This review synthesizes existing knowledge and provides a framework for assessing biochar's socioeconomic impacts in developing regions.
🏢実務担当者:Companies in waste management and carbon offset markets can use the findings to explore biochar projects for carbon credits and local development.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in developing countries and international climate negotiators can use the evidence to design incentives for biochar deployment as a climate and development solution.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Growing evidence highlights environmental, economic, and societal challenges of fossil-based linear economies, driving the search for solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The circular bioeconomy has emerged as a key, rapidly expanding approach to advance the SDGs, particularly in emerging nations like South Africa, where progress remains slow. This review critically examines the socioeconomic opportunities for integrating biochar into South Africa’s waste-to-resource systems and proposes a strategy for its widespread adoption. The study adopts a structured literature review approach, involving systematic identification, screening, and qualitative analysis of peer-reviewed articles and policy documents, guided by predefined inclusion criteria and thematic analysis. The work further elucidates regional feedstock availability, regulatory policies, and pilot-scale implementations. Our findings emphasize biochar’s dual function in tackling climate change (carbon sequestration potential: 0.5 – 3 t CO 2 -eq/t biochar) and reducing unemployment (with an expected creation of 5,000 green jobs by 2030), providing a framework for other developing economies aiming to adopt a similar bioeconomy approach.
