“…Due to the dynamic enlargement of national economies, the demand for renewable energies is expanding rapidly [35]. Consequently, energy sources that have been used traditionally such as, 'carbon', 'natural gas', and 'oil', are no longer adequate to meet the demands of the global economy [36]. Rapid increases in the consumption of energy across several sectors might lead to their depletion.…”

The "Visegrád Group" countries are fundamentally distinct from one another. There is less public backing for green initiatives like climate protection and renewable energy in Western Europe. Since the change began, the region has made substantial efficiency gains. Descriptive statistics and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were employed to quantify the various energy usage patterns across the V4 countries. Our analysis revealed that in Slovakia, Poland, and the Czech Republic, renewable energy development had accelerated by 149%, 116%, and 87% relative changes, respectively. Hungary has stalled or declined. These results suggest that the V4 countries have made considerable progress in transitioning to renewable energy sources. However, further steps are needed to ensure Hungary can make the same progress as its neighbours. According to the findings of our studies and forecasts, substantial levels of consumption of renewable energy will be observed in the following industries in the year 2022: Electricity usage will rise by 29.78% in Hungary and 22.45% in Slovakia; in the heating and cooling sector, it will rise by 24.60% in Czechia and 16.71% in Poland; and in the transportation sector, it will grow by 8.44% in Hungary and 7.71% in Slovakia. To keep up with expected increases in energy consumption, the V4 countries will need to expand the proportion of their economies that use sustainable and alternative resources. Furthermore, we propose six strategies to tackle increased energy demand and major obstacles to transitioning towards renewable energies. This will ensure energy independence and pave the way to carbon neutrality by 2050. While the EU has high targets for renewable energy, the papers show that the V4 nations each have their own set of ambitious goals.

“…Due to efforts to reduce fossil fuel imports, improve energy security, and promote sustainable agriculture, biodiesel production in India has grown (Ramalingam et al, 2023). Indian biodiesel production is presented by analysing data, identifing opportunities and challenges, and evaluate biodiesel production's impact on the country's energy and environmental goals (Hasan et al, 2023). This study examines feedstock availability, technological advances, environmental benefits, economic prospects, regulatory frameworks, infrastructure development, and research and development's impact on India's biodiesel narrative.…”

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.

“…Biofuels are seen as a viable alternative to fossil fuels and have great potential to contribute to the advancement of a sustainable economy. [1,2] Nevertheless, the molecular structure disparities between traditional biofuels (such as bioethanol and fatty acid methyl esters) and fossil fuels (i. e. alkanes) hinder their compatibility with commonly utilized engines. [3] In recent years, enzymatic generation of alkane biofuel from renewable fatty acids (for example, from microorganisms and non-edible oils) has emerged in the field of bioenergy.…”

The realm of photobiocatalytic alkane biofuel synthesis has burgeoned recently; however, the current dearth of well‐established and scalable production methodologies in this domain remains conspicuous. In this investigation, we engineered a modified form of membrane‐associated fatty acid photodecarboxylase sourced from Micractinium conductrix (McFAP). This endeavour resulted in creating an innovative assembled photoenzyme‐membrane (protein load 5 mg cm−2), subsequently integrated into an illuminated flow apparatus to achieve uninterrupted generation of alkane biofuels. Through batch experiments, the photoenzyme‐membrane exhibited its prowess in converting fatty acids spanning varying chain lengths (C6–C18). Following this, the membrane‐flow mesoscale reactor attained a maximum space‐time yield of 1.2 mmol L−1 h−1 (C8) and demonstrated commendable catalytic proficiency across eight consecutive cycles, culminating in a cumulative runtime of eight hours. These findings collectively underscored the photoenzyme‐membrane's capability to facilitate the biotransformation of diverse fatty acids, furnishing valuable benchmarks for the conversion of biomass via photobiocatalysis.
