The aim of this review is to provide the comprehensive and mechanistic information of biochar based catalytic systems for the production of fuels and fine chemicals with a concept of integrated biorefinery. The review presents an in-depth assessment of relationships between physico-chemical properties and catalytic performances of biochar based catalytic systems during the production of targeted compounds at the molecular/fundamental level. The catalytic performance of the biochar is associated with its unique physico-chemical properties (surface area/surface functionality/pores/mechanical strength/inorganic species) which provide a distinct catalytic route. The review also discusses the preparation methods and significance of the activation process for tuning of physico-chemical properties of biochar.
