  • First Online:
A Sustainable Bioeconomy

Abstract

The depletion of fossil fuels and the global environmental awareness along, with several economic concerns, are the major driving forces behind the worldwide orientation towards renewable bioresources and agro-industrial wastes for the production of alternative fuels in a sustainable manner. Consequently, the development of more efficient biomass-producing systems and biomass-processing technologies are becoming serious challenges for industrialists and researchers in order to provide markets with eco-friendly fuels at competitive prices and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

In this chapter, multiple opportunities to valorize biomass as feedstock for fuel and energy production are highlighted. This includes various woody, herbaceous, agro-industrial, and aquatic bioresources, as well as animals, and microorganisms, rich in cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, chitin, and lipids for the production of bioethanol, biodiesels, and biogas. The conversion of those bioresources to the desired biofuels involves a variety of technologies and processes, which are presented and compared in this chapter, including biomass pretreatments, thermochemical and biological conversion procedures, as well as separation, purification, and upgrading technologies. The need for more R&D breakthroughs enabling the production of biofuels at more competitive prices is also highlighted as a major step to accelerate the shift towards bioeconomy.
