CLIMATE CHANGE DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING CAN BE REVERSED BY ADVANCED BIOFUELS.

Deepa Sharma, Ashwani Kumar

Abstract :

Climate change is taking place due to global warming and use of fossil fuels is contributing to it significantly by adding carbon dioxide to atmosphere at the rate of 15 billion tonnes of CO2. Recently research and development of biofuels and off late carbon–neutral alternatives including next–generation biofuels have gained importance. Second–generation biofuel molecules are likely to resemble those present in gasoline and expected to be compatible with existing infrastructure. Metabolic and protein engineering approaches can improve upon production of biofuels. With the advent of synthetic biology and advances in protein engineering, designing pathways with reactions not known in nature hitherto is now a possibility. Metabolic engineering of microbes and synthetic and systems biology, have allowed the engineering of microbes to produce advanced bio–fuels properties similar to petroleum–based fuels.
