Abstract

To fulfil the energy requirement the exploitation of fossil fuels is now converted as a continuous process that has led to the uncontrolled depletion of our natural resources. In view of the loss of natural resources and their preservation, there is a necessity for the up-gradation and distension of renewable sources of energy presently. Furthermore, the negative effects of the exploitation of natural resources and fossil fuels on the change of climate and environment, global warming, as well as overall pollution, etc. should be studied and taken care of concomitantly. The availability of plenty of biomass materials from different sources and its wonderful possibilities as a renewable reserve makes it the best choice for the conversion, production, and storage of energy. Various methods such as gasification, pyrolysis, etc. are useful thermal treatments for the generation of materials such as biochar, bio-oil, syngas, etc. from the biomass, these products are the perfect sources of green and clean energy. In the trans-esterification process, pyrolysis and production of syngas, biochar is widely used as the main catalyst. Biochar-based other materials are also used in the technological manufacturing of batteries, fuel cells, and super-capacitors. Therefore, biomass and its derived materials can help us in the generation of power, conversion and its storage. The better use of biomass material would also help us in the reduction of environmental pollution global warming and reduced exploitation of natural resources, including secure sustainable development and energy security.
