Role of Substrate to Improve Biomass to Biofuel Production Technologies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioprocessing for Biofuel Production

Part of the book series: Clean Energy Production Technologies ((CEPT))

Abstract

The requirement and demand of incessant supply of energy is inexorable and it is increasing globally every day. Traditional organic energy reservoirs, fossil fuels, are depleting while increasing environmental pollution. Considering the substantial necessity and risks, scientists are probing for substitute of renewable energy resources with lower environmental hazards. Green biotechnology finds the ways for green energy using biomass as a substrate for the generation of biofuels. Biofuel technology has gathered the attention worldwide as it is a feasible and attractive source of energy fulfilling all the current standards of energy production. Biofuel production can make more feasible and economical choosing the suitable substrate for required fuel and proper application of pretreatment and process conditions. Biofuels use photosynthetic products or cellulosic or lignocellulosic substrates as feedstock for microorganisms, and the mutual reaction after fermentation and saccharification yields biofuels. Biofuels are categorized according to the type of substrate used, and yield is dependent on the pretreatment of substrate. Pretreatments depend upon the type of substrate, and the whole synchronized process produces good commercial scale biofuels. This chapter reveals different types of substrates and their role for the production and improvement of biofuels technology. To tackle the emerging twin crisis of energy and resources, development of biofuels technology as an alternative approach of traditional nonrenewable energy system is mandatory.
