Biochar for pollution mitigation and renewable energy applications toward sustainability development.

ABSTRACT: In the context of fossil fuels polluting the environment and depleting energy resources, the need to find sustainable solutions becomes urgent; in which, biochar stands out thanks to its potential applications in the fields of energy and environment. Biochar is produced from biomass and possesses advantageous structural properties, such as high surface area, porosity, and diverse functional groups, as well as ease of synthesis and compatibility with a wide range of low-cost, renewable feedstocks. This review outlines key biochar production methods-thermal, chemical, and biological-and evaluates recent advancements that enhance its structure and performance. These findings show that engineered biochar exhibits strong capabilities in pollutant adsorption, heavy-metal immobilization, and wast
