Biomass solid fuel (BSF) has emerged as a promising renewable energy source, but its morphological and microstructural properties are crucial in determining their physical, mechanical, chemical characteristics. This paper provides an overview of recent research on BSF. The focus is biomass sources, BSF processing methods, properties, with special emphasis energy-related studies. Specific inclusion exclusion criteria were established for the study to ensure relevance. encompassed studies about BSFs investigating influence sources methods fuels within past five years. Various technologies converting into usable discussed, including gasification, torrefaction, carbonization, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), pyrolysis. Each advantages disadvantages performance, techno-economics, climate impact. Gasification efficient requires high investment. Pyrolysis produces bio-oil, char, gases based feedstock availability. Carbonization generates low-cost biochar carbon sequestration applications. Torrefaction increases density co-firing coal. HTC processes wet efficiently lower input. Thermal treatment affects durability strength, often leading less due voids gaps between particles. Hydrothermal alters surface morphology, creating cavities, pores, distinctive shapes. Slow pyrolysis better while fast yields porosity area. Wood constitutes 67% utilized bioenergy generation, followed by wood residues (5%), agro-residues (4%), municipal wastes (3%), crops livestock forest (1%). source drawbacks, such availability, cost, environmental impact, suitability specific regions requirements. review valuable professionals, researchers, policymakers interested fuel.

Biorefineries are critical components for industrial conversion of sustainably sourced plant biomass into fuels, chemicals and materials. Cascading potential products from highest to lowest economic value is required allocate limited global potentials preferred with higher feasibility. Therefore, techno-economic assessments (TEAs) individual biorefineries have be compared each other. Reported feasibilities a wide range TEA studies were reviewed, in the context 1st 2nd generation biorefineries, prioritise allocation resources products. Substantial variabilities exist methodologies input assumptions reported results, which affects comparativeness Key factors affecting feasibility include feedstock type, composition cost, location, operational time, production scale process integration strategies.
