The bio-oil can be used to replace kerosene for cooking and lighting application, thereby reducing CO2 emission which causes global warming. The bio-char has good CO2 adsorption properties and can be used to remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere through a phenomenon known as direct air capture; while the bio-syngas can either be used as fuel for cooking or for the regeneration of the spent bio-char.
