چکیده
Energy security and climate change have cascading effects on the world’s burgeoning population in terms of food security, environment, sustainability. Due to depletion fossil fuels undesirable changes climatic conditions, increase air water pollution, mankind started exploring alternate sustainable means meeting growing energy needs. One options is use renewable sources fuel–biofuel. In this chapter authors reviewed presented sustainability impact production biofuels. Authors further state-of-the-art gene editing technologies toward improvement biofuel crops. The recommend a phased transition from first-generation biofuel, an acceleration technology drive adoption second-generation Key aspects application resource management models will enable these crops bridge global demand before we can completely more economy.

Against the background of mineral oil tax remission in Switzerland providers or dealers of energy crops or biofuels in developing countries can do a legally non-binding check if their pro...
متن کاملLessons from first generation biofuels and implications for the sustainability appraisal of second generation biofuels☆
AIMS The emergence of second generation (2G) biofuels is widely seen as a sustainable response to the increasing controversy surrounding the first generation (1G). Yet, sustainability credentials of 2G biofuels are also being questioned. Drawing on work in Science and Technology Studies, we argue that controversies help focus attention on key, often value-related questions that need to be posed...
متن کاملNext-generation biofuels: Survey of emerging technologies and sustainability issues.
Next-generation biofuels, such as cellulosic bioethanol, biomethane from waste, synthetic biofuels obtained via gasification of biomass, biohydrogen, and others, are currently at the center of the attention of technologists and policy makers in search of the more sustainable biofuel of tomorrow. To set realistic targets for future biofuel options, it is important to assess their sustainability ...
متن کاملGreen biofuels and bioproducts: bases for sustainability analysis
Currently, the chemical industry is largely petroleum based and although the number of ongoing large-scale biocatalytic processes is relatively low, a trend in growth is expected and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and other agencies aim to have 30% of the total chemical industry based on renewable sources by 2050 (Philp et al., 2013). At present, a good number ...
متن کاملSustainability of food, energy and environment with biofuels
Growing reliance on food-based biofuels has created considerable controversy about their impact on food prices and the environment and led to scepticism about their sustainability. This review describes the concept of sustainability in the context of biofuels and then discusses the factors affecting the economic viability of current and next-generation biofuels and their environmental and socia...
