Abstract

Lignocellulosic materials (LCM) have garnered attention as feedstocks for second-generation biofuels and platform chemicals. With an estimated annual production of nearly 200 billion tons, LCM represent an abundant source of clean, renewable, and sustainable carbon that can be funneled to numerous...

AbstractFull Text

Biofuel generation from algae can be increased by using nanotechnology. The present study emphasizes the use of silver nanoparticles on algae for algal fuel generation along with the impact of nanoparticles on biomass, metabolites and lipid profile. Silver ion amassing was enhanced in each algal...

AbstractFull Text

The larvae of black soldier fly (BSFL) are rich in lipids, and in the current study, BSFL was used to produce biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification with methanol. Biodiesel obtained by free lipase-catalyzed transesterification is always with side-reactions. To address the limitation of free...
