Abstract

An alternative and/or improved material for the energy sector is of major concern due to the advancement in the sector and the hazardous environmental impact of the current materials in use. Weight is also an issue when it comes to materials for energy generation, conversion, and storage. Bio-polymeric materials are currently being considered as an alternative option due to the inherent properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, biodegradability, renewability, biocompatibility and cost-effectiveness. Based on these properties and the potentials of biopolymers, the composite materials are considered viable. The main focus of this chapter is on energy applications of biopolymers. The chapter also briefly explains the types, areas of application, properties and the reasons for the selection of biopolymers in the energy, biomedical and packaging sector. Finally, the study presents the future trend of biopolymers for energy applications.
