Abstract

Biofuels are introduced as an effective replacement for conventional fuels to reduce the environmental impacts and to meet the growing demand for energy, raised nowadays because of the growing population and industrialization. Due to running shortage and various economical and environmental drawbacks of conventional carbon-based fuels, biofuels are developed. Among biofuels, bioethanol is a demanding biofuel that could be an effective fuel and could be used in conventional engines of automobiles in combination with gasoline without any alterations. Depending upon the use of feedstock used to produce bioethanol, 1G, 2G, 3G, and most recent 4G bioethanol came into light. In this chapter, the focus is on 3G bioethanol produced from macroalgae and microalgae. 3G bioethanol has been developed to overcome the limitations associated with 1G and 2G bioethanol. 3G bioethanol is a recent emerging technique that is still in its development phase, while the previous research shows that it is a promising way to cope with several environmental issues related to foregoing generations.
