Abstract The current energy crisis, depletion of fossil fuels, and global climate change have made it imperative to find alternative sources that are both economically sustainable environmentally friendly. Here we review various pathways for converting biomass into bioenergy biochar their applications in producing electricity, biodiesel, biohydrogen. Biomass can be converted biofuels using different methods, including biochemical thermochemical conversion methods. Determining which approach is best relies on the type involved, desired final product, whether or not sustainable. Biochemical methods currently most widely used from biomass, accounting approximately 80% all produced worldwide. Ethanol biodiesel prevalent via processes. Thermochemical less than conversion, 20% Bio-oil syngas, commonly manufactured wood chips, agricultural waste, municipal solid major by conversion. Biofuels potential displace up 27% world's transportation fuel 2050, could result a reduction greenhouse gas emissions 3.7 billion metric tons per year. Biochar yield high ranging 32.8% 97.75%, also serve as an anode, cathode, catalyst microbial cells with maximum power density 4346 mW/m 2 . plays role catalytic methane decomposition dry reforming, hydrogen rates 13.4% 95.7%. increase 220.3%.
