Abstract
The escalating global awareness of climate change and the imminent depletion of fossil fuel reserves have spurred an urgent search for sustainable energy alternatives and eco-friendly chemical processes. Biofuels and biomass conversion technologies have emerged as pivotal solutions in this critical endeavor, offering pathways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, foster green chemistry principles, and enhance energy security. Biofuels, derived from renewable biological sources such as plants, algae, and agricultural waste, present a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Biomass conversion technologies, including thermochemical, biochemical, and hybrid approaches, transform biomass into valuable products. These technologies, when integrated with green chemistry principles, minimize waste, conserve energy, and facilitate the development of bio-based chemicals and materials. Challenges such as feedstock availability, process efficiency, and economic competitiveness need to be addressed through advancements in biotechnology, process engineering, and material science.
