Overview

Plant-based biofuels and bioenergy are renewable forms of energy derived from plants and other biological materials. They include liquid fuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel produced from crops, oils, and algae, as well as solid and gaseous fuels from biomass, and they are pursued as alternatives to fossil fuels because they can be replenished and may reduce net greenhouse-gas emissions. The field draws on plant biology, biochemistry, and engineering to identify productive feedstocks and efficient ways of converting them into usable energy. Within the journal's plant-biology scope, research has examined organisms with potential as bioenergy feedstocks, including a review of the industrial and biotechnological applications of algae. Algae are studied as a promising source of biofuels because of their rapid growth and high lipid content, and the review situates their energy applications within their broader industrial and biotechnological value. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to plant-based biofuels and bioenergy, supporting plant scientists, bioenergy researchers, and students interested in renewable energy from plants, algae, and other biological sources.
