460 Refining Biomass Residues for Sustainable Energy and Bioproducts

20.5 Conclusion

Combustion of fossil fuel sources contributes high atmospheric carbon dioxide
release, thus being one of the major causes of global warming. On the contrary,
utilizing the nutrients obtained from waste sources could certainly help to develop
sustainable environment. In this regard, biofuel obtained from marine sources offers
various advantages of providing good content of energy production, consumes high
carbon dioxide, and provides cheap fuel source. Therefore this chapter has compiled
various marine sources involved in biofuel production, along with their properties,
biofuel production procedures, and need for biosources for biofuel production. The
marine biosources are found to be an excellent biooption for a sustainable environ-
mental application of biofuel production. They are found to help in reducing cost of
fuel and global warming thus contributing to environmental remediation along with
various value-added potential by-products.
