Production of Biofuels and Bioproducts from Renewable Sources

Biomass is known as an organic, non-fossil material with a biological origin including plants, agricultural residues, forest wastes, microbial cells and municipal wastes. Biomass serve as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the manufacturing of plastics, fertilizers, lubricants, industrial chemicals and many other products derived from petroleum or natural gas.

At present chemical industry is largely dependent on petroleum based products and on the other hand number of ongoing large‐scale biocatalytic processes are comparatively low, a change in the growth is expected globally. At present a good number of bio‐based products (bioethanol, acids such as lactic, succinic and others) are derived from various agricultural resources. Biofuels could help decrease global demands for fossil fuels resulting reduction of greenhouse gas emission and environmental warming.
