Abstract

There is also an increasing concern regarding sustainability of biofuel generation/use that will influence on raw material preferences and consequently influence on biofuel’s obtainment chosen protocol. This chapter will explore main challenges related to biofuel obtainment presenting also interesting strategies to surpass some of these difficulties here addressed. Consortium-based bioconversion technologies, strategies involving synthetic biology/metabolic engineering and microfluidic platforms are examples of attempts to reduce cost and make the process of generating biofuel more efficient.
