A chapter in Biofuels in Circular Economy, 2022, pp 59-71 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Current energy strategies address environmental challenges that are efficient and eco-friendly for fulfilling the energy requirements and enhancing energy utilization more sustainably. Increasing global demand leads to depletion of natural resources, continued expansion of population globally, and industrialized economy. Primary energy demand has grown that increased gas and oil production. Increased consumption of imported oil possibly will impede economic growth. Alternative energy production is a prominent issue in the research and development market due to the increased demand for fossil fuels and the resultant impact of global warming challenges. Bioenergy derived from biomass is a long-term alternative energy source that has acquired significant support in various sectors, including government laws, industry, and the public sector. It requires support from the government, the general public, industry, and research to ensure its long-term existence. Manufacturing processes, including chemical conversion, that is an inexpensive process, large-scale production of biofuels, have not been well explored and explained in this chapter. As a result, a cost-effective and efficient production process is necessary to commercialize biomass-based biofuels. This chapter includes and covers sustainable and renewable biofuel resources, as well as biofuel commercialization milestones.
