“…Biofuels have the potential to reduce and even eliminate carbon emissions by reducing the use of fossil fuels fuels [63,64]. Biofuels are classified according to various characteristics, for example, by the origin or type of biomass (aquatic, terrestrial, and microbial); primary according to the state of the biomass (liquid, solid, and gaseous); secondary according to the type of feedstock (first, second, third and fourth generation); and by the technological conversion route (thermochemical, biochemical, physical-chemical) [64][65][66][67][68].…”

“…The systematic evolution of secondary biofuels encompasses four generations; the first generation refers to energy production from edible crops. However, its main disadvantage is the use of plots of land on which food supply products could be grown [64,65,68]. The second generation considers non-food products as feedstock [69,70].…”

CRISPR/Cas9 has emerged as the predominant method for genome editing due to its cost-effectiveness and broad applicability, playing a crucial role in advancing sustainable practices across various sectors. This systematic review leverages the PRISMA methodology to explore CRISPR/Cas9's impact on environmental protection, thereby supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Analyzing data from the Web of Science, the review found significant growth in related publications, with a 30% increase since 2014, predominantly from the US, China, Germany, and the UK. The study categorizes the scientific developments into three trends: advancements in agriculture, gene editing techniques, and biofuel production. Key discussions include the use of CRISPR/Cas9 in developing fourth-generation biofuels and environmental biosensors, as well as its applications in enhancing genetic resilience and controlling invasive species. These innovations highlight CRISPR/Cas9's potential in promoting sustainable resource management and energy generation, marking a pivotal contribution to ecological conservation and sustainability efforts.
