Recently, many research paper can be found on particular biomass feedstock and activation technique to produce activated carbon. Consequently, main focus should be taken to the relevance those precursor effectiveness and final properties of structure of carbon. The effects of various thermal treatment stage activation methods on characteristics and activating conditions are physical, chemical and microwave and most significant method that have wider acceptability is microwave activation technique is described and summarized of application, characteristics, specific capacitance, adsorption capacity, conventional activation method and different agricultural source for the production of low cost activated carbon. From the current publication it is clear that agricultural bio waste produced activated carbon situated effective ability for removing of many contaminants. Finally, the major obstacles and future expectations of activated carbon preparation from agricultural waste are investigated. Keywords: Agricultural biomass waste, Activated carbon, Activation, Specific capacitance. INTRODUCTION Higher fuel usage, progressive depletion of fossil-stored fossil fuels, and more detrimental greenhouse gases all contribute to the need for renewable and sustainable energy sources, which are beneficial to managers. As a result, safe and efficient energy production from solar and wind sources, minimal carbon dioxide emissions, and the creation of carbon-free electric vehicles are fast increasing. However, an efficient and effective energy saving system is required for uninterrupted power generation from renewable sources [1]. Activated carbon is a carbonaceous component that has a large surface area, good quality porosity, and high physics stability and very good quality surface reaction that is effectively used for various necessary practical work [2–4]. Activated carbon is made from a range of materials, including wood, coal, petroleum wastes, various forms of lignite, and polymers, all of which are very expensive yet not renewable [5]. Thus biomass, a highly affordable and renewable material, can be used sustainably without the use of costly materials for activated carbon production which will not harm the environment and climate in any way. Many studies have focused on the generation of activated carbon from rice husks, scattered luggage, and maize straw, as well as solids such as food wastes and sludge activated carbon [5, 6].
