This review highlights the application of biochar (BC) for attaining different SDGs (SDG 6: clean water and sanitation, SDG 7: affordable and clean energy, SDG 13: climate action, and SDG 15: life on land). These goals coincide with the various existing environmental problems including wastewater treatment, soil amendment, greenhouse gas remediation, and bioenergy generation. So, the review encompasses the various mechanisms involved in the BC-assisted treatment and reclamation of water, pollutant immobilization and enhancing soil properties, reduction of greenhouse gas emission during the wastewater treatment process and soil amendment mechanisms, bioenergy generation through various electrode material, biodiesel production, and many more. The review also explains the various drawbacks and limitations of BC application to the available environmental issues. Conclusively, it was apprehended that BC is an appropriate material for several environmental applications. More research interventions are further required to analyze the applicability of different BC materials for attaining other available SDGs.
本综述重点介绍了生物炭（BC）在实现不同可持续发展目标（可持续发展目标6：清洁水和卫生设施、可持续发展目标7：负担得起的清洁能源、可持续发展目标13：气候行动以及可持续发展目标15：陆地生物）方面的应用。这些目标与各种现存环境问题相契合，包括废水处理、土壤改良、温室气体修复以及生物能源生产。因此，该综述涵盖了生物炭辅助水的处理与回收、污染物固定及改善土壤性质、废水处理过程中温室气体减排及土壤改良机制、通过各种电极材料生产生物能源、生物柴油生产等所涉及的各种机制。该综述还阐述了生物炭应用于现有环境问题时的各种缺点和局限性。最后得出结论，生物炭是适用于多种环境应用的材料。进一步需要更多的研究干预措施来分析不同生物炭材料在实现其他现有可持续发展目标方面的适用性。
