The excessive use of agrochemicals to ensure food security under the conditions a growing population, global climate change, weather extremes, droughts, wasteful freshwater resources, and land degradation has created severe challenges for sustainable crop production. Since frequent abrupt environmental changes are outcompeting existing agricultural technologies production systems meet security, development modern nature-based solutions urgently needed. Nanotechnology shown potential revolutionizing agri-production agri-business in terms nanofertilizers nanoparticles protection. Furthermore, recent past, biochar been identified as negative emission technology carbon sequestration soil fertility improvement. However, supply chain issues biochar, due feedstock availability, its worldwide acceptability. Meanwhile progress algae research indicated that, can be utilized various agro-ecosystem services. Algae considered an efficient biological species producing biomass phytochemicals because their high photosynthetic efficiency growth rate compared terrestrial plants. In this context, options using solution have investigated review; instance, possibilities bulk algal algal-based biofertilizers role nutrient availability abiotic stress resistance (hereafter “phycochar” feedstock), elemental composition, bioremediation is discussed. agal nanoparticles’ mitigating plants was thoroughly investigated. This review effectively literature improved our understanding algae-based agro-solutions huge stresses improving overall sustainability. few challenges, such microalgae on large scale green synthesis nanoparticle methodologies, still need further mechanistic investigation.

Abstract Biochar is a carbon-containing material prepared through thermal treatment of biomass in limited supply oxygen, and used for an array applications including waste management, climate change mitigation, soil fertility improvement, bio-energy production, contaminant remediation. The data related to biochar, its the wide applicability were collected using Web Science Core Collection Database (on 25/10/2022), while bibliometric network analysis was performed VOSviewer software analyse year-wise, author-wise, country-wise, journal-wise publication trends, construct keyword co-occurrence maps, identify research areas receiving greater focus. Further, biochar reviewed mechanistic insights provided. Some findings include: > 50% documents (> 13,000) getting published past 3 years, 90% 21,000) being articles, ~ publications 10,000) environmental sciences, pyrolysis most widely (~ 40% articles) production technique (followed by carbonization, gasification, combustion, torrefaction), China active country terms 11,000), mostly removing contaminants energy mitigation). Various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT analysis) wide-ranging identified. Lastly, gaps identified need performing elaborate life cycle assessments, exploring machine learning artificial intelligence upgrading conversion technology producing application-specific investigating aspects soil-biochar interactions nano-scale transformation biochar. study covers broad spectrum lesser attention, which could guide future researchers augmenting research.

Biomass and plastics are two of the most common municipal solid wastes globally that have continuously placed a burden on environment. It is therefore important they properly recycled. Thermochemical co-conversion offers valuable opportunity to recycle biomass simultaneously into biochar, which reduces time cost recycling them individually while producing material with wide range applications. This study review published literature discusses thermochemical co-processing plastic biochar. was observed co-pyrolysis co-hydrothermal carbonization commonly utilized technologies for this process. The characteristics different been thermochemically converted biochar were compared. properties resulting affected by feedstock composition, pre-treatment blending ratio, reactor's configuration, reaction temperature, presence catalyst. Most studies found treating feedstocks separately resulted in lower yield than processing together. created procedure has used as soil additive an adsorbent water treatment. Future perspectives suggestions, such necessity some technical advancement, biochar's economic benefits, improved government participation, raised social awareness, also made. These factors potential propel field great horizons.

The decomposition of organic waste going to landfills produces methane gas, which is 21 times worse than CO2 in its global warming potential. Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are one type that makes up a significant proportion the landfills. Therefore, it becomes imperative look for recycling solution transform this into valuable resource. concrete industry has potential contribute significantly increasing rate material.

The world is currently facing significant challenges in reducing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through scientific methods, primarily by sequestering CO2 soil. Biochar a kind charcoal that composed carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Due to its aromatic content, biochar can persist environment for an extended period absorb greenhouse gases (GHG). Each year, effectively captures estimated amount ranging from 1 35 gigatons (GtCO2) 78 477 GtCO2 over this century. helps mitigate climate change soil periods consequently GHG emissions. This enhances fertility, water retention capacity, nutrient circulation, which promote higher crop yields. Biochar's by-products be harvested used as renewable energy source. Besides, integration effective waste management strategies organic disposal. also efficient purification element favors action. Through application alteration employed establish credits, methods reduce emissions acceptable level. unique properties, wide-spread applicability, cost-effectiveness, trustworthy development prospects demonstrate great potential towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). review discusses diverse applications, social technical impacts global cycle sustainable goals.
