The potential of biofuels from first to fourth generation

PLoS Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 21(3), С. e3002063 - e3002063

Опубликована: Март 30, 2023

The steady increase in human population and a rising standard of living heighten global demand for energy. Fossil fuels account more than three-quarters energy production, releasing enormous amounts carbon dioxide (CO2) that drive climate change effects as well contributing to severe air pollution many countries. Hence, drastic reduction CO2 emissions, especially from fossil fuels, is essential tackle anthropogenic change. To reduce emissions cope with the ever-growing energy, it develop renewable sources, which biofuels will form an important contribution. In this Essay, liquid first fourth generation are discussed detail alongside their industrial development policy implications, focus on transport sector complementary solution other environmentally friendly technologies, such electric cars.

Biomass-to-sustainable biohydrogen: Insights into the production routes, and technical challenges

Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12, С. 100410 - 100410

Опубликована: Сен. 28, 2022

Hydrogen is regarded as one of the utmost competent alternative fuels in transition to net-zero emissions for future. Nowadays, it still majorly derived from non-renewable energy resources (i.e., fossil fuels). Regrettably, a key issue reliance on these depleted extremely negative impacts our milieu. The emergence envisioned biomass-to-sustainable H2 strategy viewed an appealing opportunity generate sustainable strategic H2. This review article summarizes patented approaches (thermochemical, biological, and electrochemical) production enticing raw material biomass. optimization different prominent parameters achieve eventual easiest way was additionally discussed. advancement operational parameters, technical challenges, scalable improvement each pathway briefly addressed. Moreover, contemporary economic viewpoints bankable biomass-to-H2 processes flow diagrams terms circular economy were highlighted order effectively value biomass supply chains produce Hopefully, this work presents more favorable theoretical in-depth mechanistic understanding bio-sourced hydrogen's pathways.

Microalgae biorefinery: An integrated route for the sustainable production of high-value-added products

Energy Conversion and Management X, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 16, С. 100323 - 100323

Опубликована: Ноя. 2, 2022

Microalgae are pervasive organisms regarded as conservative alternatives for the sustainable synthesis of various high-value-added bio-products to replace depleting fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions. However, microalgae biorefinery is still very far from being commercially viable due high costs, intensive energy requirements, low availability biomass biomolecules. In this review, current status discussed by establishing efficiency green biotechnology in producing wastewater diverse derived biorefinery. addition, aspects involved production bulk chemicals value-added biorefinery, including their roles environmental protection promotion an integrated circular bio-economy elucidated. Lastly, challenges facing recommendations guide future research toward cost-effective, more efficient, presented.

Underutilized Lignocellulosic Waste as Sources of Feedstock for Biofuel Production in Developing Countries

Frontiers in Energy Research, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 10

Опубликована: Фев. 17, 2022

The need for a reliable and sustainable energy source, stability in price solution to environmental challenges of fossil fuel has led searching an alternative source fuel. Several sources have been developed over time, but they are limited one form or another. However, biofuel such as bioethanol identified superb with superior properties One major challenge is the high production cost resulting from feedstock, which may also serve food source. In order address this challenge, research focused on cheap feedstock production. Currently, attention lignocellulosic waste keen interest developing most appropriate technique processing it bioethanol, especially countries, focus review. This review involves converting pretreatment steps involved well its challenges, prospect economic aspect. Among reported, biological treatment remains outstanding few can be managed. Biofuel come stay countries lots opportunities that favours cost. Although enzyme viability there hope efficient bio-system simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF) consolidated biomass help circumvent challenge. conclusion, effective utilization biocatalyst system economically viable means overcome posed by

Biogas and Biomethane Production and Usage: Technology Development, Advantages and Challenges in Europe

Energies, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 15(8), С. 2940 - 2940

Опубликована: Апрель 17, 2022

In line with the low-carbon strategy, EU is expected to be climate-neutral by 2050, which would require a significant increase in renewable energy production. Produced biogas directly used produce electricity and heat, or it can upgraded reach “renewable natural gas”, i.e., biomethane. This paper reviews applied production technology current state of biomethane Europe. Germany, UK, Italy France are leaders Biogas from AD processes most represented total (84%). Germany deserving for majority (52%) EU, while landfill gas well UK (43%). sewage sludge poorly presented less than 5% quantities produced EU. Biomethane facilities will 32 TWh 2020 There currently 18 countries producing (Germany highest share). Most European plants use agricultural substrate (28%), second position refers crop feedstock (25%). Sewage participate 14% mostly Sweden. Membrane separation upgrading technology, at around 35% plants. High prices today, even higher future, give space wider acceptance use.
