Abstract: Abstract To meet the ever-increasing energy demand, human society is reliant primarily on petroleum-based fuels in today’s environment, notably in the transportation sector. The high rate at which fossil fuels are used and subsequent emission into the atmosphere promote the concentration of greenhouse gases to rise. Biofuels are undoubtedly one of the most trustworthy alternatives for long-term transportation and economic improvement. E-fuels, solar fuels, and microalgal fuels can be strong next-generation sources for reducing the devastating environmental effects of conventional fuels. This article focuses on the history of the shift from conventional fuels to biofuels and the usage of biofuel as a viable option for long-term development.
