Biofuels have received a lot of attention as an important source of renewable energy, with number of economic impacts. This study aims to investigate the economic potential of biofuels and then extract core aspects of how biofuels relate to a sustainable economy in order to achieve a sustainable ...

The main downside of utilizing algal biomass for biofuel production is the rigid cell wall which confines the availability of soluble organics to hydrolytic microbes during biofuel conversion. This constraint reduces the biofuel production efficiency of algal biomass. On the other hand, presenting...

Second-generation biofuels produced from lignocellulose biomass (LCB) have the potential to compete with fossil fuels, provided that appropriate cost-effective and efficient technologies are used in the production process. As agriculture is practiced all over the world and millions of tons of...

In the early 2000s, governments implemented policies stimulating the use of ethanol and biodiesel to reduce carbon emissions and encourage domestic energy production. Blend mandates requiring gasoline or diesel to contain a minimum percentage of these biofuels were a favored policy instrument....

Facing water and land scarcity, planting non-food biofuel crops on marginal land depending on natural rainfall has been considered as an attractive means of achieving sustainable biofuel development. However, the complex connection between rainfall and marginal land resources in spatial-temporal...

This study assessed the long-term annual biofuel production capacity potential and price in the United States and shed light on the prospect of biofuel adoption for marine propulsion. A linear programming model was developed to assist the projections and provide insightful analyses. The projected...

Biofuel crops are one of the most promising regenerative alternatives of energy resources to fossil fuels. Revealing the current and future resource distribution patterns of biofuel crops will promote the development of green energies and the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. In this study,...

Biofuels are environmentally friendly, renewable, and have a low carbon footprint. Industrial-scale production technologies for advanced generation biofuels, though not yet fully mature, are developing fast. This paper critically reviews the sources and production technologies of promising...

There is a great interest in biofuels production as an alternative and potentially renewable fuel. This study analyzed the rate of scientific publications related to the biofuels such as biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, biohydrogen and wood pellets using the Logistic and Gompertz models to...

The significant growth of the global population, as well as the increase in energy demand and the limitations of energy generation from fossil fuels, have become a serious challenge over the world. To address these challenges, renewable energies like biofuels are recently found as a proper...
