This review comprehensively examines biochar, an essential material in an era of climate change for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. It is inconspicuous, black, lightweight, and very porous, and is produced through the thermal conversion of biomass. Our literature review highlights biochar’s expansive application possibilities. Firstly, its potential to improve soil quality and sequester CO2 has been examined, as well as its utilization in iron and steel manufacturing to minimize the quantity of coke and ultimately reduce CO2 emissions. In industrial manufacturing, the complete elimination of coke can promote environmental neutrality, which is achieved using biochar from biomass for its extrusion. Furthermore, biochar is becoming increasingly significant in modern energy storage technologies and as an important additive in Pickering emulsions, which are also employed in energy storage systems. Additionally, the use of carbon black is a broad topic, and this review illustrates where it can be successfully utilized, especially in environmentally sensitive areas.

“…Carbonaceous materials such as activated carbons (ACs), carbon aerogels, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbide-derived carbons, graphene, and others have been widely used as electrode materials in supercapacitors because they are cost-effective, have excellent electrical conductivity, and are widely available. − In electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), ACs are often employed as electrode materials because of their large surface area and tunable porosity . Carbon materials derived from biomass are always preferable for most applications, including gas adsorption, , wastewater treatment, , anode material in batteries, , and so on, because they are less expensive, more easily accessible, and have the least environmental impact. Biomass-derived activated carbons are gaining traction as an active electrode material for supercapacitors due to their remarkably good pore structure, ease of synthesis, high specific surface area, and high conductivity …”

The valorization of a South African paper mill waste sludge into an activated biocarbon electrode material for energy storage application is reported. The valorization method is a twostep synthesis that comprises hydrothermal carbonization and NaOH activation of paper mill waste at 700 °C to produce activated biocarbon. The development of high porosity carbon material with a surface area of 1139 m 2 /g was observed. The synthesized biocarbon electrode exhibited good specific capacitance (C sp ) values of 206 and 157 Fg −1 , from a three-electrode cell in neutral (1 M Na 2 SO 4 ) and alkali (3 M KOH) electrolytes, respectively. The electrolyte concentration purportedly has a considerable effect on specific capacitance. In both electrolytes, symmetric triangular curves in galvanostatic charge−discharge point to a quick charge−discharge process. Synthesized material testing with a two-electrode cell in 3 M KOH and 1 M Na 2 SO 4 electrolytes, respectively, delivered specific capacitances of 125 and 152 Fg −1 , with the corresponding energy densities of 17.4 and 21.1 Wh kg −1 . The material had capacity retention efficiencies of 83 and 92% after 5000 cycles in 3 M KOH and 1 M Na 2 SO 4 electrolytes, respectively. The electrode material performance of the activated biocarbon from paper sludge clearly shows its potential for electrochemical energy storage. The reported results present an exciting potential contribution of the pulp and paper industry toward the transition to green energy.
