The paper focuses on collection of information on recent multifaceted usage of biomass materials with critical examination on its sustainability. The use of biomass is becoming popular, with wide global acceptance as it is considered as green technology. The use of biomass products across industrial parallels, the material combination and production processes were elucidated in this paper. Biomass materials are seen as affordable alternative to conventional materials for domestic and industrial applications. The multifaceted use of biomass, which includes, energy generation, metallurgical applications, construction purposes, reinforcement in metal matrix composite, microelectromechanical system, biochemical and traditional medicine were discussed. This underscores the need to develop a sustainable plan to meet with its diverse usage to be beyond laboratory efforts. This paper examined whether the availability of biomass can sustain its multifaceted usage or not. It also examined the modalities to ensure sustainable use of biomass. Different policies were highlighted and discussed in line with continuous multifaceted use of biomass.
本文着重于收集有关生物质材料近期多方面用途的信息,并对其可持续性进行批判性审视。生物质的使用正变得越来越普遍,在全球范围内得到广泛认可,因为它被视为绿色技术。本文阐述了生物质产品在不同工业领域的使用情况、材料组合和生产过程。生物质材料被视为用于家庭和工业应用的传统材料的经济实惠替代品。文中讨论了生物质的多方面用途,包括能源生产、冶金应用、建筑用途、金属基复合材料增强、微机电系统、生物化学和传统医学。这突出表明需要制定一项可持续计划,以满足其多样化用途,而不仅仅局限于实验室研究。本文研究了生物质的可用性是否能够维持其多方面用途。它还研究了确保生物质可持续利用的方式。根据生物质的持续多方面使用,强调并讨论了不同的政策。
