Advanced biofuels: a path to sustainable energy

Abstract

Commercialization has been primarily responsible for the recent sharp rise seen in energy consumption, which has coincided with an increasing global population. The lack of resources, higher costs, impacts on the ecosystem, and effects on climate are all the results of the continuous usage of fossil fuels. Biofuels, which are renewable energy sources, can be used instead of fossil fuels to promote sustainable energy development. Thus, the issues caused by the fossil fuel crisis may be mitigated by sustainable energy development through the use of green renewable energy sources. Because biofuels are non-toxic, sulfur-free, biodegradable, and renewable, they have been explored as alternatives to non-petroleum-based fuels for transportation. This article provides a comprehensive overview of advanced technologies used in the production of advanced biofuels.
