Biofuels sources, biofuel policy, biofuel economy and global biofuel projections
Energy Conversion and Management, 2008The term biofuel is referred to liquid, gas and solid fuels predominantly produced from biomass. Biofuels include energy security reasons, environmental concerns, foreign exchange savings, and socioeconomic issues related to the rural sector. Biofuels include bioethanol, biomethanol, vegetable oils, biodiesel, biogas, bio-synthetic gas (bio-syngas ...

Ecological Applications, 2011
The recent increase in liquid biofuel production has stemmed from a desire to reduce dependence on foreign oil, mitigate rising energy prices, promote rural economic development, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The growth of this industry has important implications for biodiversity, the effects of which depend largely on which biofuel feedstocks ...

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2010
Biofuels have been in the eye of the storm, in particular since 2008, when the food crisis was considered by many to be caused by the increased production of biofuels. Heavy criticism in public media made various governments, including the European Commission, reconsider their targets and ambitions for biofuels. A year after the climax of the food (and

The Chinese government is stimulating the biofuels development to replace partially fossil fuels in the transport sector, which can enhance energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and stimulate rural development. Bioethanol, biodiesel, biobutanol, biogas, and biohydrogen are the main biofuels developed in China.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2009
There is a major international effort to develop renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. One approach is to produce a liquid fuel by enzymatically hydrolyzing carbohydrate polymers in biomass to sugars and fermenting them to ethanol. Cellulose is the main polymer in biomass and cellulases can hydrolyze it to cellobiose, which can be converted to ...

Biofuels and Biofuels Policies — An Introduction
2014In recent years, for a number of reasons, governments have been increasing their efforts considerably to promote the production and use of energy derived from renewable sources. Concerns have been raised, for example, over the dependence on fossil fuels, the utilisation of which has considerable climate and environmental impacts.

Biofuels are vital in today's energy landscape, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Derived from organic sources, biofuels cut emissions, enhance security, and promote sustainability. They offer a renewable, carbon-neutral option, reducing reliance on finite fossil fuels and fostering a circular economy by utilizing waste.

Photosynthesis Research, 2013
The world is facing energy crisis and environmental issues due to the depletion of fossil fuels and increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Growing microalgae can contribute to practical solutions for these global problems because they can harvest solar energy and capture CO2 by converting it into biofuel using photosynthesis.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2012
While engineering of new biofuels pathways into microbial hosts has received considerable attention, innovations in bioprocessing are required for commercialization of both conventional and next-generation fuels. For ethanol and butanol, reducing energy costs for product recovery remains a challenge. Fuels produced from heterologous aerobic pathways in

The Future of Biofuels, Biofuels of the Future
2011As seen throughout this book, much of the ongoing work on advanced biofuels production involves the use of the incredible metabolic diversity and biochemical conversion power of microbes. Many different avenues for the production of either several gaseous (hydrogen and methane) or a large variety of liquid biofuels are being explored, some in the ...
