Abstract

Nowadays, petroleum fuels are primary energy sources and fulfill the energy demand of the world. But these fuels emit large amounts of gases responsible for the greenhouse effect and global warming. The source of these fuels is another major issue due to their limited availability in the Earth’s crust and will be depleted in the coming days. Hence, there is a need for an effective alternative of petroleum fuels that can fulfill the need for energy. Biofuels are the emerging energy sources derived from cost-effective raw materials and are considered as renewable energy sources. The efficiency and the quality of biofuels are generally dependent on the material used in biofuel production. Hence, the selection of suitable biomass for bioenergy production is extremely important. The biomass selection is based on the properties such as physical, chemical, and biological. The physical properties like surface morphology can be analyzed by using various instruments like scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, and XRD. The chemical composition of biomass is an important factor for biofuel production. The chemical bonding between biomolecules affects the bioconversion process during biofuel production. Genomic characterization has important application in the identification of newly isolated microbial species as well as screening for genetic modification. This chapter focuses on biomass classification, its characterization, and the economic importance of biomass.
