In this scenario, biofuels derived from renewable biomass represent the most promising renewable energy sources. Depending on the biomass used by the fermentation technologies, it is possible to obtain first-generation biofuels produced from food crops, second-generation biofuels produced from non-food feedstock, mainly starting from renewable lignocellulosic biomasses, and third-generation biofuels, represented by algae or food waste biomass.Although biofuels appear to be the closest alternative to fossil fuels, it is necessary for them to be produced in competitive quantities and costs, requiring both improvements to production technologies and the diversification of feedstock. This Special Issue is focused on technological innovations, including the utilization of different feedstocks, with a particular focus on biethanol production from food waste; different biomass pretreatments; fermentation strategies, such as simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) or separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF); different applied microorganisms used as a monoculture or co-culture; and different setups for biofuel fermentation processes.The manuscripts collected represent a great opportunity for adding new knowledge to the scientific community as well as industry.Technology: general issuesbicsscBiotechnologybicsscbiofuelscornextractionenzyme-assistedproteinsoybeanmolecular sievewater removalrotary shakingelectromagnetic stirringbiofuelgasoholtrend analysispromotion policyregulatory measurebottlenecksynthesis gas fermentationvolumetric mass transfer coefficientTween 80® surfactantgasificationmulti-objective optimizationbioethanolsyngas fermentationmodelingsustainabilitysoapberry pericarpcarbonizationbiocharpore propertysurface chemistrybiomethanefood wasteco-productionbiorefinerybioelectrochemical system (BES)carbon dioxide sequestrationextracellular electron transfer (EET)electroactive microorganismsmicrobial biocatalystelectro-fermentationcircular economydownstream processing (DSP)gene manipulationbiogascompost leachatepressurized anaerobic digestionethanolsimultaneous saccharification and fermentationSaccharomyces cerevisiaesingle cell proteinpineapple wastecell wall sugarfermentationspent sugar beet pulpmodeleconomicspretreatmentsaccharificationB. ceibabiomasssecond-generation biofuelbioenergybiodieselnon-fossil fuelempty fruit bunchesresponse surface methodologycentral composite designbiofuel production technologiesdownstream processingenergybioethanol productionagroforest and industrial waste feedstock valorizationmicroorganisms for biofuelTechnology: general issuesBiotechnologyTropea Alessiaedt1332320Tropea AlessiaothBOOK9910595067503321Biofuels Production and Processing Technology3040827UNINA
