Abstract

The energy consumption that results from economic growth and the pollution it releases into the environment has been the subject of widespread concern in academics and society in recent years, and they have grown in importance as the times progress. There is a growing need for renewable and alternative energy sources due to the possible depletion of non-renewable fossil energy sources like coal and oil as well as the acceleration of global climate change. One of the hottest areas of study right now is the hunt for clean, renewable, and alternative energy sources. A thorough analysis of the biofuels industry's present level of growth indicates a dynamic environment fueled by the rising demand for sustainable energy throughout the world. This review aims to analyze in detail the research background, significance, and rationale for selecting biofuels. It will start with first-generation biofuels and focus on the current third-generation biofuels. Biofuels derived from renewable bioresources have emerged as a promising alternative because of the need to address environmental issues associated with traditional fossil fuels. The dual impact of biofuels on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy security is explored. The choice to focus on third-generation biofuels emphasizes the commitment to innovation and is in line with the United Nations sustainable development goals, in particular those related to clean energy, climate action, and environmental protection.
