Abstract

Circular economy and sustainability are pivotal concepts in the discourse on the synergies between economic growth and environmental impact. As resource scarcity and environmental degradation intensify, advancements in energy conversion technologies become crucial for a sustainable economic model. Currently dependent on fossil fuels, the global economy must shift to a sustainable framework focused on bioenergy. Biomass, a renewable energy source, offers a promising solution by converting waste into valuable resources, reducing waste and environmental impact, and creating economic opportunities. Biofuels and bioproducts can meet energy needs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing global warming. Recent advances in biofuels, supported by initiatives and policies, promote more sustainable energy production. This paper aims to highlight the potential of biomass in meeting contemporary energy demand and provides an overview of biofuels and their production as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. It also explores the future of agriculture and energy sectors, emphasizing global energy and environmental challenges and the competition between food and fuel feedstocks.
