A Next Generation Biofuel is the renewable alternatives to gasoline, produced from non-traditional feedstocks that can result in up to 100% fewer GHG (Greenhouse gas) emissions. The Next Generation Biofuel uses advanced conversion technologies to create biofuels from widely available, largely non-food biomass, such as wheat straw, corn stover, wood residue and switchgrass, and non-traditional feedstocks such as waste oils and animal fats.

How Next-Gen Biomanufacturing Can Help Slash Global Emissions (Source: Oil Price on 22 February 2024): By Brian Westenhaus - Osaka University researchers succeeded in biomanufacturing a sugar product using chemically synthesized sugar for the first time. With refinement of this technology, one can envision a future society in which the sugar required for biomanufacturing can be obtained ‘anytime, anywhere, and at high rate’. In the future, biomanufacturing using chemically synthesized sugar is expected to be a game changer in the biotechnology field – including the production of biochemicals, biofuels, and food, where sugar is an essential raw material – ultimately leading to the creation of a new bio-industry. In a study recently published in ChemBioChem, researchers from Osaka University and collaborating partners developed an innovative biomanufacturing technology using chemically synthesized non-natural sugars as a raw material to solve the above-mentioned problem. ...
