Biobutanol: New era of biofuels

Abstract: Summary Global energy demands are primarily met through non‐renewable sources such as coal, natural gas, and oil. However, the scarcity and rising prices of fossil fuels, coupled with the unprecedented environmental problems, lead the researchers to find out a microbial alternative to address these issues. Biofuel has emerged as an attractive solution which can be effectively used in the current scenario. Among the probable list of alternates, biobutanol is an important renewable source of biofuel which can be… Show more

“…One fuel of note is butanol, which was proliferating prior to the rise of petroleum in the mid‐1900s and has received attention again more recently (Rathour et al, 2018; Xue et al, 2019). The production process relies on bacteria to create butanol via metabolic processes, but current output efficiency is not practical for wide scale industrial use.…”

“…Methanol is a promising candidate for reforming systems because it is a liquid fuel with a high energy density. It is also produced from reliable energy sources such as biomass, coal, or oil shale [1][2][3][4]. The steam reforming of methanol not only ensures a high yield of hydrogen but can also achieve a high thermal efficiency.…”

“…The annual global demand for butanol is expected to surpass 6 billion gallons. 2 Biobutanol is usually produced from the well-established acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) fermentation. The ratio of the main products (acetone, 1butanol, and ethanol) of this process is 3:6:1.…”
