Biomass gasification is the process whereby an organic material is thermo-chemically broken down to produce syngas as well as some byproducts. Biochar (char) is one of the byproducts produced during this process from Pine wood. The char used for this study was generated from the downdraft gasifier system and was characterized using FTIR, SEM, CHNS and Calorimeter. The applications of the char were predicted based on its characterization. FTIR spectrum of char confirmed the presence of O-H, C-H, C=C functional groups. Elemental analyser showed 89.4% wt of C, 9.4% wt of O and 1.2% wt of H. A porous structure of char was observed from the SEM. The calorific value of char was 35.37 MJ/Kg. Based on each characteristic, this implied that the char could be applied in a variety of applications. This could also add value to the byproduct and reduce environmental pollution.
