Abstract

Biomass-derived materials (BDMs) are cost-effective and eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels for producing CO2 adsorbents. With high carbon and oxygen content, biomass forms efficient porous carbon adsorbents featuring excellent textural properties, tuneable porosity, high selectivity, and low regeneration energy. This review assesses recent literature on BDMs for carbon capture, focusing on biochar and activated carbons, and examines factors affecting their efficiency. It also explores biomass conversion into biofuels, bioplastics, biochemicals, and their use in soil amendment and cement for carbon sequestration, providing the first comprehensive overview of biomass-based CO2 adsorbents and other valuable products.
