Global Perspective on Production of Biotechnology-based Bioenergy and Major Trends
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Bioenergy electricity and any solid, liquid or gaseous fuel that is produced through the processing of biomass may provide an alternative to the expansion of fossil fuels consumption. With careful strategies and under appropriate regulatory frameworks, bioenergy, and in particular biofuels, may be instrumental to slowing down the process of global warming and enhancing energy security, as well as possibly providing opportunities for countries to diversify agriculture production and raise rural incomes.

Plants to power: bioenergy to fuel the future.
Bioenergy should play an essential part in reaching targets to replace petroleum-based transportation fuels with a viable alternative, and in reducing long-term carbon dioxide emissions, if environmental and economic sustainability are considered carefully. Here, we review different platforms, crops, and biotechnology-based improvements for sustainable bioenergy. Among the different platforms, ...
متن کاملFood supply and bioenergy production within the global cropland planetary boundary
Supplying food for the anticipated global population of over 9 billion in 2050 under changing climate conditions is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Agricultural expansion and intensification contributes to global environmental change and risks the long-term sustainability of the planet. It has been proposed that no more than 15% of the global ice-free land surface should be con...
متن کاملProduction of bioenergy and biochemicals from industrial and agricultural wastewater.
The building of a sustainable society will require reduction of dependency on fossil fuels and lowering of the amount of pollution that is generated. Wastewater treatment is an area in which these two goals can be addressed simultaneously. As a result, there has been a paradigm shift recently, from disposing of waste to using it. There are several biological processing strategies that produce b...

متن کاملBook Review: Socio-Economic Impacts of Bioenergy Production
During the last few decades, the bioenergy production has been radically promoted worldwide (EIA, 2013) as a clean and eco-friendly source of energy mainly due to the global concern of climate change, primarily attributed by the increasing emission of CO2 by fossil fuel consumptions. Although vegetable oils was first used as liquid fuels (bioenergy) in internal combustion engine by Rudolf Diese...
