The replacement of fossil-derived compounds by bio-based fuels and chemicals is a vital step towards implementing a sustainable bioeconomy. In this realm, microorganisms play a pivotal role in the production of biofuels from renewable sources. Biotechnological processes for biofuel production necessitate the utilization of microorganisms that possess the ability to efficiently assimilate low-cost and renewable carbon sources while redirecting their metabolic pathways towards the specific production of biofuels. By exploring the vast diversity of microorganisms present on our planet, we can significantly enhance the feasibility of producing green fuels.

This comprehensive book provides a thorough exploration of diverse microbial-based approaches for green fuels production. It also includes a techno-economic analysis, highlighting the strategic, commercial, and environmental interests in promoting green fuels. The value of this book extends beyond the scientific community to biofuel companies and policy makers, as it encompasses essential insights and information relevant to their operations and decision-making processes.
