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.

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 ...

Increasing pressure to move towards energy sustainability and reduce society's dependence on fossil fuels has led to much research and development in the area of biofuels. First-generation biofuel production (e.g., ethanol from corn) is a mature technology, but competition with food crops raises questions about sustainability.
