Biofuel; A Sustainable Renewable Source Of Energy-A Review

Abstract The improvisation of renewable energy sources is global concern as there foresight in the depletion fossil fuels. This because dependence on fuel consumers over time and detriment biotic abiotic component environment alarming. need for an alternate source imperative. Several options have been considered by scientific community, especially biofuels which hinges primarily type biomass. Agro waste most its abundance but it competed feeding purposes humans animals. However, Lignocellulose being utilized recently. preliminary step conversion lignocellulose (pre-treatment) stage challenging presented three major methods; physical, chemical, biological treatment. review assessed sustainability limitations each these methods. pre-treatment poses to be a cost-effective method with low yield products. These shortcomings could however managed redesigning procedure include partial chemical pre-treatment, optimization process parameters such pressure, temperature, genetic manipulation microorganisms choice.
