India’s rapidly growing automobile industry has intensified the need for sustainable fuel alternatives to reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study examines potential of second-generation biorefineries as a comprehensive solution efficient biomass valorization in India. With projected bioethanol demand 10,160 million liters by 2025 20% ethanol blending target, there is an urgent develop production pathways. The biorefinery approach enables simultaneous multiple valuable products, including bioethanol, biochemicals, bioproducts, from same feedstock, thereby enhancing economic viability through additional revenue streams while minimizing waste. paper systematically analyzes available resources across India, evaluates integrated conversion technologies (biochemical, thermochemical, synergistic approaches), current policy frameworks supporting implementation. Our findings reveal that can significantly contribute reducing GHG emissions up 2.7% gross domestic product (GDP) 2030 creating rural employment opportunities strengthening energy security. However, challenges supply chain logistics, technological optimization, harmonization continue hinder large-scale commercialization. concludes proposing strategic interventions overcome these barriers accelerate transition toward circular bioeconomy

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts and health risks associated with four thermochemical conversion technologies: incineration, gasification, pyrolytic liquefaction, hydrothermal liquefaction. Results revealed that all processes yielded positive net benefits (3.8–8.2 kg CO2-eq/kg AR reduction), liquefaction exhibiting lowest emissions (GWP-5.71 CO2-eq/kg). However, its widespread application has been hindered by process limitations, enhancing catalytic efficiency identified as a critical area for future research. Incineration ranked second in terms of remains most favorable method according existing studies. In contrast, gasification did not demonstrate significant advantages, primarily due high energy consumption required drying. Consequently, optimizing drying highlighted key focus research efforts. This study provided valuable insights safe disposal resource recovery antibiotic residue.
