Biofuels and Sustainability

2021
Energy security and climate change have cascading effects on the world's burgeoning population in terms of food security, environment, and sustainability. Due to depletion of fossil fuels and undesirable changes of climatic conditions, increase in air and water pollution, mankind started exploring alternate and sustainable means of meeting growing ...

Cellulosic Biofuels

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2009
The development of sustainable, low-carbon, liquid fuels from cellulosic biomass will require advances in many areas of science and engineering. This review describes the major topics of enquiry concerning cellulosic biofuels with an emphasis on those areas of research and development that include research problems of interest to plant biologists.

Biofuels in China

2010
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.

A roadmap for biofuels…

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

Biofuels sources, biofuel policy, biofuel economy and global biofuel projections

Energy Conversion and Management, 2008
The 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 ...

Biofuels and biodiversity

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 ...

Algal biofuels

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.

Biofuel Policies: The Underground Limitation on Biofuels

International Advances in Economic Research, 2015
U.S. energy policy has seen a dramatic shift toward renewable fuels within the last 10 years. While much research has been conducted in regards to U.S. biofuel policies, a significant arena of debate has been neglected. A key argument in favor of domestic biofuel production is that it is a renewable path towards energy independence.

Bioprocessing for biofuels

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
