However, adoption faces the challenge of variable financial viability, leaving the biochar market underdeveloped. To address the question, “How can biochar systems achieve financial viability while maintaining their environmental impact?”, we extensively analyzed market enablers, barriers, and cost-revenue dynamics, foundational for our primary research. Interpreting expert interviews through deductive and inductive analysis methods, we developed 10 principles to guide financially viable biochar systems. These principles, demonstrated through a Cascais case study, offer context-sensitive strategies to navigate market complexities and promote broader biochar adoption.engBiocharBiochar systemCarbon dioxide removalEnvironmental impactSustainable technologyStrategy developmentFinancial profitabilityEco-innovationmaster thesis203927290
