Nowadays, the increasing of waste produced by humans to the atmosphere and the environment has caused great effect on the environment and human health. Industrial activity is the greatest air polluter [1]. The emission of toxic substances into the environment is vastly spreading, especially from the smoke of the charcoal industry. In the charcoal industry, one of the unsolved problems is smoke pollution resulting from burning charcoal. Smoke is one of the causes of air pollution,

“…Biochar produced at low temperature is usually acidic in nature while a higher temperature tends to make it alkaline [16]. Moreover, a high 2 of 14 temperature intensifies various nutrients in biochar as well as increasing biochar properties in terms of its C percentage [17]. Feedstock is another critical factor to impact biochar characteristics.…”

The prime objective of biochar production is to contribute to nutrients recycling, reducing waste and converting useful bio-wastes into carbon rich products in the environment. The present study was intended to systematically evaluate the effect of pyrolysis conditions and characteristics of feedstock influencing the generation of biochar. The study revealed the nutritional importance of waste mushroom substrate (WMS) biochar which may elevate soil nutritional status and soil quality. The results showed that the yields and properties of WMS biochar depended principally on the applied temperature where pyrolysis at higher temperatures, that is, 600 °C and 700 °C produced biochar having high ash, P and K contents. Moreover, numerous useful macro and micro nutrients such as Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn were observed to positively correlate with the increase in temperature. The WMS biochar in our study is highly alkaline which can be used to rectify acidic soil pH. Overall our results suggest that WMS biochar being a rich source of nutrients can be the best remedy to maintain and further enhance the soil nutritional status. Thus by interpreting biochar feedstock characteristics and pyrolysis conditions, the regulation of tailored WMS biochar manufacturing and application in soil can be facilitated.

“…Biomass samples have ash content less than 5%, which is much less than any other fossil fuel used for combustion processes. Range obtained for VM content i.e., 60-85% in studied biomass is as high as any of the fossil fuels [49,50], which can initiate ignition even at lower temperature (150-250°C) and support combustion processes, whereas in other fossil fuels like coal for initiating any combustion process the required ignition temperature ranges 260-450°C. Biomass also have less in nitrogen and sulphur content than any other fossil fuels (coal), which indicates less evaluation of NOx and SOx during combustion processes [48].…”

Biomass energy is one of the alternative sources of energy, which is particularly accessible in huge quantity worldwide in rural areas. Globally, solid biomass waste is the fourth as an energy resource after coil, oil and gas, which was providing approximately 14% of the world’s energy needs. The potential of biomass materials depends on feedstock quantities and their composition. The use of biomass materials as energy source provides extensive benefits as far as the environment is concerned. The agricultural biomass materials absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) during growth and emit it during combustion. Utilization of these types of wastes in various applications is in the form of a renewable and CO2-neutral fuel. The physicochemical and structural analyses of agricultural biomass differ significantly with the feedstock types. This review study provides an alternative approach and better understanding to utilize huge amount of energy stored in biomass as the substitute of fossil fuels and also it should play an important role in sustainable energy systems as a component of a renewable energy mix.
