Biofuel promotion develops a complete linkage between food, water, land, and energy [62] The first-generation biofuels are derived from agricultural crops and, therefore, can negatively impact the ecosystem, especially inland usage and deforestation [61] , [63] , [64]
- Biofuel - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In the United States which is the largest biofuel producer in the world, biofuels generated 4 % of the energy used for transportation in 2011 In 2009, in Brazil, which is the second largest biofuel producer in the world, a total of 23 % of the energy for road transportation came from biofuels Large-scale biofuel production in the world can
- Biofuels for a sustainable future - ScienceDirect
To mitigate GHG emissions while meeting the global fuel demand, biofuel technology advancements need to focus on (1) optimization of current biofuel-production technology for higher productivity and efficiency of lignocellulosic biomass conversion, (2) diversification of feedstocks to ensure the viability of biofuel production within existing ecological and economic constraints (e g , carbon
- Biofuels an alternative to traditional fossil fuels: A comprehensive . . .
One of the key challenges in biofuel production is the high cost of pretreatment, which needs to be reduced to achieve at least a carbon–neutral product for practical applications The present review concludes newer generations of biofuels should be introduced by exploring co-culturing, nanotechnology, and genetic modification

Biofuel production also entails significant impacts on water resources and biodiversity The cultivation of crops for biofuels can be highly water-intensive Crops such as sugarcane and corn, often used for biofuel production, require large quantities of water, which can exacerbate water stress in already vulnerable areas [ 23 , 34 ]
- Biofuel - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Biofuel is a product from biological sources such as food crops, oil extracted from vegetables and biomass from animal and microbial origin It is a biological product, rather than a geological product (fossil fuels) Biofuel, as it is produced from renewable biological sources, is a renewable fuel source
- Introduction: An overview of biofuels and production technologies
Biofuel-producing countries heavily rely on domestic feedstock for biofuel production, which is influenced by factors such as climate, region, and market trends The overall price of biofuels largely depends on the type of biofuel, feedstock, geographical location, resources required, such as land or water, competition with food crops, the
