I would like to work seriously on 4th generations of biofuels. as syngas is a very advantageous and carbon-free and promising alternative to fossil fuel in future aspects. In this regard, I have not found any work related to this in India as I am from India and strived for some papers in this field of interest and no work, and no information is found in this in India. if so, please help me in attaching some papers related to it. I also found no equipment in India for solar water splitting devices to store solar energy in the form of hydrogen. I have a doubt here that is hydrogen is explosive if so, then how to store the potential sun energy in a safe way? and another way to store energy is by co2 recycling to get value-added products. so how can we produce these value products using the second method and what are the equipment required and where are these available for further research? as I am a mechanical engineer, I am in a great dilemma to find the above-mentioned things. can anyone support these things positively? If so, I'm very glad ....thank you all. I have recently started my Ph.D. program and I'm very interested in 4th generation biofuels. but the thing is due to lack of source I'm inefficient and that too it is quite related to chemical people. even though I'm very much interested. Please support and help me guys.......
Thank you all researchers and professors, industrialists.
In recent years considerable attention has been focused on lowering biofuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and land and water resource needs, and on improving compatibility with fuel distribution systems and vehicle engines. Metabolic engineering of microorganisms for biofuel production forms the basis for fourth-generation biofuel production which can meet this need. Biofuel production from the second generation is known to be made from agricultural products such as corn or sugarcane. The second-generation biofuels use all forms of cellulosic biomass. The third and fourth generations of biofuel production involve “algae-to-biofuels” technology.
The fourth generation of biofuel
This chapter is very related. You can find your answer
Chapter The fourth generation of biofuel
Fourth generation biofuels are derived from specially engineered plants or biomass that may have higher energy yields or lower barriers to cellulosic breakdown or are able to be grown on non-agricultural land or bodies of water.
