“…Numerous studies have shown that biodiesel has better physical and chemical qualities than petroleum fuel. Higher flash point and cetane number, lower sulfur content, improved lubricity, and lower carbon footprint (Pydimalla et al, 2023). Biomass, including woody biomass and agricultural waste, is the primary energy source in rural India.…”

Biodiesel has the potential to serve as a feasible substitute for fossil fuels in many sectors, including transportation and internal combustion engines, without requiring extensive modifications. UsinHemg alternative energy sources, including biodiesel, is necessary to effectively tackle the growing demand predominantly observed in the transportation sector. This review is aimed to examine the technological progress, potential benefits, obstacles, and prospects associated with using biodiesel in India. India exhibits a significant potential for biodiesel production due to the abundance of various biofuel crops within its territory. The information supplied includes recent information from official government reports and literature. Collaborative efforts among all stakeholders in the energy industry can achieve the realization of reducing imports of petroleum‐based fuel. However, it is essential to consider several significant elements specific to the Indian context when considering the utilization of biodiesel. The reported findings in this research are expected to shed light on the current and prospects of biodiesel deployment in India.

“…Still, because of the difficulty of extraction and separation, the current technology is under development, accounting for less than 2 per cent of the world. However, it has a higher carbon emission reduction effect, the raw materials do not occupy arable land, there are no scale restrictions and it is a preparation process with long-term development potential (Pydimalla et al 2023).…”

The bioeconomy, also known as the bio-based economy, refers to the economic activity involving the use of biotechnology and biomass in producing goods, services or energy. It aims to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the energy and industrial sectors. Bioeconomy has been widely accepted by different countries and regions as a critical strategy for coping with fossil fuel shortage and climate change, among other environmental problems. Bioeconomy mainly utilizes biomass resources to generate bio-based products. In terms of biomass resources, they can be divided into three generations. The first-generation biomass resources, primarily edible biomass materials, present an issue of “competing with people for food/land.” The second-generation biomass resources are derived from non-edible sources, mainly lignocellulosic materials, which are accompanied by immature processes for their efficient conversion into valuable biofuels and other high-value bioproducts. Thirdgeneration biomass resources represent an emerging frontier in the world of sustainable bioenergy and bioproducts, primarily consisting of algae or rapidly synthesized biomass achieved through advanced cell engineering techniques. This report focuses on bioenergy, bio-based chemicals, bio-based plastics and bio-based macromolecular materials (textiles and paper) in technical conversion, highlighting the resources, dominating technical routes, challenges and prospects.

“…Demographic growth has resulted in an increase in worldwide energy demand. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the estimated energy consumption between 2015 and 2040 will increase by 28%, and by 2050, nonrenewable fossil fuels will supply 65% of the world’s energy needs [1,2]. In the Americas, Europe, and Africa, oil remains the main source of energy for transportation and industry [2].…”

In this study, biocatalysts in the form of mycelium-bound lipases of psychrotrophic and mesophilic fungi were screened for their ability to synthesize fatty acid methyl (FAME) and ethyl esters (FAEE). It has been shown that the hydrolytic activity of biocatalysts is not accompanied by their biodiesel synthetic activity. Preliminary studies showed for the first time, that the FTIR technique can be used to predict synthetic activity. The highest correlation between the intensity of the bands and synthetic activity, negative and positive, respectively, was observed for two neighboring bands at 1745 cm-1(R= −0.73) and 1699 cm-1(R= 0.68). The psychrotrophic strainPenicilliumsp. 59, isolated from the soil of the Arctic tundra (Spitsbergen), has been shown for the first time as an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst for fatty acid ethyl ester synthesis and is stable in organic solvents. Mathematical optimization of biosynthesis was also performed using RSM. A molar canola oil conversion value of 83.3% into FAEE was obtained at 24.2 °C in n-hexane using 12.5% of used canola oil and 5.3% of the fungal biocatalyst within 6 h. Dry mycelium ofPenicilliumsp. 59 is a promising new biocatalyst for large-scale biosynthesis of biodiesel, given its low-cost production, high activity at room temperature, no need to mix reactions, and reusability in a minimum of six cycles.
