Abstract
The agricultural waste-derived biochar has myriad environmental applications that show up by lowering greenhouse gas emissions due to the carbon-negative biochar cycle. Besides, biochar production is an economically favorable and promising method for agriculture waste management. In this book chapter, biochar production methods, biochar properties, and the role of biochar production reaction conditions on the physicochemical properties of biochar are discussed. The unique properties of biochar, including functional groups, large surface area, high porosity, superior stability, availability of metal cation and minerals, high cation exchange capacity make it suitable for various environmental management applications. We describe the biochar utilization for soil amendment, carbon sequestration, air pollution control, agriculture waste management, water purification, and energy generation for environmental management to fledge out the opportunities for biochar applications and sustainable ecosystems. Biochar application for soil improvement has been beneficial for agro-ecosystems from the environmental and agronomical prospects. Converting agricultural waste into biochar is a sustainable strategy for agricultural waste management, besides the integrating of biochar for soil amendment promoting the proficiency of resource, and increasing sustainable agriculture and circular bio-economy.
