Abstract In the context of climate change and circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile recycled material. Here, we review application biochar-based for carbon sink, covering agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, environmental remediation, construction, energy storage. The ultimate storage reservoirs are soils, civil infrastructure, landfills. Biochar-based fertilisers, which combine traditional fertilisers with nutrient carrier, promising agronomy. use feed additive animals shows benefits terms growth, gut microbiota, reduced enteric methane production, egg yield, endo-toxicant mitigation. Biochar enhances digestion operations, primarily biogas generation upgrading, performance sustainability, mitigation inhibitory impurities. composts, controls release greenhouse gases microbial activity. Co-composted improves soil properties crop productivity. Pristine engineered can also be employed water remediation to remove pollutants. added cement or asphalt, thus conferring structural functional advantages. Incorporating biocomposites insulation, electromagnetic radiation protection moisture control. Finally, synthesising materials requires additional functionalisation.

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.
