Abstract: Even with greater efforts from developed and developing nations, it seems unlikely to resolve the issues involving with atmospheric CO2 levels. The effects of this issue are affecting the climate, the adoption of global conservation measure, and the stabilization offossil fuel prices. It is still a certainty that global oil and gas supplies will be largely depleted in a matter of decades. However, nature provides abundant renewable resources that can be used to replace fossil fuels, if not completely but at least to some extent. However, major issues remain at the forefront such as cost, technology readiness levels, and compatibility with existing distribution networks. In current scenario, the cellulosic fuel remains unsuccessful to reduce societal independence from fossil fuel. There is a need to continue to bridge the technology gap and focus on the critical aspects of lignocellulosic biomolecules conversion. In addition, the value-added products of industrial significance are among top priority during bioconversion to liquid fuels. Therefore, the respective molecular mechanisms regulating the bioconversion of liquid fuel may remain to be discovered so that biofuel could become a reality at a reasonable cost. Commercialisation of biofuels and biochemicals is a great challenge, however not impossible to met with the demands of sustainable energy. This book provides the key aspects of molecular mechanism of liquid fuel and value-added products of industrial significance. Uniquely, the editors focused on technological updates on biomass processing, system biology, microbial fermentation, catalysis, regeneration, and monitoring of renewable energy and recovery process. This book also offers facts of techno-economic analysis, climate change, and geopolitical interpretation of bioenergy aspects.
