Abstract

The European transport sector is evolving rapidly, and so do the challenges associated with its fuel needs. The advanced biofuels of second and third generations based on Lignocellulosic (LC) and microalgae biomass have emerged as promising alternative biofuels producers. The paper reviews the renewable energy scenario and its contribution to the transport sector in the European region. A techno-economic analysis is presented for LC, algae-based advanced biofuels. A SWOT analysis is performed to understand the challenges and opportunities associated with 2nd and 3rd generation advanced biofuels for making them market-ready.
