“…Biofuels are considered to be cleaner energy sources as they emit fewer greenhouse gases than fossil fuel combustion. Thus, they are identified as an important source of clean energy under SDG Goal 7 (García-Franco, 2021). Ethanol and biodiesel are the two most common forms of liquid biofuels (Palandri et al, 2019).…”

Sustainable Development goals set out at the United Nations with broad support include targets relating to food security, energy access, and the environment. Some national policies have turned to renewable fuels to achieve energy and environmental goals, with biofuel use mandates applied in countries that account for significant market shares. However, the context in which the development goals were set and these biofuel policies put in place might differ from current and future conditions. The scope for biofuel expansion might be restrained by technical limits on blending rates, slower future growth in transportation energy demand after the pandemic, and the interactions with feedstock and other agricultural commodity markets, which could take different forms given larger biofuel volumes and other changes. Considering the expected policies and broader context, this study provides a 10-year outlook for biofuel use, production, feedstock demands, and other related variables with a primary focus on the United States and Brazil. We find scope for increasing biofuel use in both countries, particularly for biomass-based diesel, in the projection period and growing displacement of petroleum product-related greenhouse gas emissions, which is consistent with sustainable development goal seven.

“…Many of these chemicals reach the environment, and while some are degraded others remain in soils or water either because of their recalcitrance or their rate of deposit is still far superior to that of removal (Danso et al, 2019 ; Mori & Kanaly, 2021 ; Nagata et al, 2019 ). Pollution related to petrochemical use has led to global warming and the search is now on to replace polluting chemicals with new green alternatives (Calero & Nikel, 2019 ; García‐Franco et al, 2021 ; Godoy et al, 2021 ; Ramos & Duque, 2019 ); although the new (bio)chemistry for production of chemicals is still developing (Brooks & Alper, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2020 ; Reed & Alper, 2018 ).…”

The extensive use of petrochemicals has produced serious environmental pollution problems; fortunately, bioremediation is considered an efficient way to fight against pollution. In line with Synthetic Biology is that robust microbial chassis with an expanded ability to remove environmental pollutants are desirable. Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a robust lab microbe that has preserved the ability to survive in the environment and is the natural host for the self‐transmissible TOL plasmid, which allows metabolism of toluene and xylenes to central metabolism. We show that the P. putida KT2440 (pWW0) acquired the ability to use octane as the sole C‐source after acquisition of an almost 62‐kb ICE from a microbial community that harbours an incomplete set of octane metabolism genes. The ICE bears genes for an alkane monooxygenase, a PQQ‐dependent alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase but lacks the electron donor enzymes required for the monooxygenase to operate. Host rubredoxin and rubredoxin reductase allow metabolism of octane to octanol. Proteomic assays and mutants unable to grow on octane or octanoic acid revealed that metabolism of octane is mediated by redundant host and ICE enzymes. Octane is oxidized to octanol, octanal and octanoic acid, the latter is subsequently acylated and oxidized to yield acetyl‐CoA that is assimilated via the glyoxylate shunt; in fact, a knockout mutant in the aceA gene, encoding isocitrate lyase was unable to grow on octane or octanoic acid.

Multicomponent systems, such as laccase cooperating with other proteins in ligninase, are able to modify the chemical structure of lignin efficiently and opens the door to potential applications. Here, an in‐depth investigation of hemoglobin‐assisted laccase oxidation of soluble lignosulfonate is carried out, using a combination of UV–visible spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography, Raman spectroscopy, 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and high‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Intriguingly, hemoglobin enhances the exothermically oxidative process of the laccase reaction. Product characterizations suggest that hemoglobin may preferentially reduce the ratio of guaiacyl/syringyl subunits and promote phenylcoumaran formation simultaneously. The complicated interactions among hemoglobin, laccase, and lignin make a multiple‐component reaction, suggesting that Fe‐containing macromolecules have the capacity to mediate laccase based chemical modifications of lignin.
