AbstractBiochar is a solid material that contains lot of carbon and created by heating biomass in an environment where there little or no oxygen. It has become clear biochar holds great promise for combating climate change, enhancing soil fertility, eliminating pollutants, promoting effective waste disposal. In particular, sawdust produced via thermochemical processes drawn attention because its affordability abundant availability. This review paper presents general summary the production processes, including pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, torrefaction, gasification. was observed specific yields performance these methods vary depending on feedstock source, process parameters, equipment used. Additionally, properties biochar, such as content, surface area, stability, also method. The effects operating factors sawdust-biochar temperature, rate, residence duration, are covered study. While challenges exist, ongoing research aims to improve applications, making it valuable tool climate-smart agriculture sustainable land management.Keywords: Biocharsawdustthermochemical processespyrolysiswaste management Disclosure statementNo potential conflict interest reported author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work received external funding.

Abstract The effective management of agro-industrial waste plays a pivotal role in mitigating various forms pollution. Sugarcane bagasse (SB), substantial biomass generated the sugar industry after cane juice extraction, necessitates sustainable handling. Although some mills utilize wet sugarcane for fueling milling process, significant portion remains stockpiled and is often incinerated on-site, resulting highly flammable that poses risks to its surroundings. Recognizing importance addressing this issue, researchers have identified conversion agricultural into biochar as an efficient means harnessing energy following devolatilization. There scientific interest transformation value-added products, including biochar, biogas, biofuel. This comprehensive literature review delves pyrolysis processes applicable converting char materials, showcasing potential diverse applications line with current interests. Graphical
