    Recent Advances in Sustainable Agriculture: Biochemical Conversion of Agriculture Wastes to Biofuels
    (Book Rivers, 2026) Ayush Saxena, Fouziya Parveen, Akhtar Hussain, Mohammad Ashfaque
    Increasing global warming affects mankind drastically, even other living beings face severe problems. Continuous usage of fossil fuels leads to air pollution, which contains several harmful particles that can cause negative impacts on the environment and the health of humans. Burning fossil fuels and utilizing them in different activities also lead to their depletion from the earth. To overcome such problems and focus on sustainability, many countries are now utilizing agricultural wastes to produce second-generation biofuels, which act as an alternative to fossil fuels. Conversion of these agricultural wastes to various biofuels is done through multiple approaches, out of which the main and environment-friendly approach is the biochemical conversion of biomass that can produce bioethanol and biogas via fermentation and anaerobic digestion, respectively. Biochemical conversion is a multi-step process with low to zero emission of pollutants.

    Integrated Algal Engineering Approaches for Bioremediation, Bioenergy, and Industrial Applications: Current Scenario and Future Directions
    (Springer, Singapore, 2026) Shaily Mishra, Arpit Srivastava, Paras Koshe, Chandan Mahata, Reena Vishvakarma, Ashutosh Pandey
    In the current scenario, algal biomass has been perceived as a potential candidate for carbon sequestration and better substitute for environmental quality deteriorating toxic fossil fuels. Genetic and metabolic engineering are the highly advanced emerging technologies having great potential to improve the ability of algal cells to perform with increased efficiency. Recent advancements in genetic and metabolic engineering have significantly enhanced the potential of algal biomass for carbon sequestration, wastewater phycoremediation and sustainable bioenergy production. The Cutting-edge technologies such as CRISPR/Cas genome editing, TALENs and RNA interference have accelerated the precise manipulation of algal genomes leading to improved metabolic pathways for higher yields of biofuels and value-added bioactive compounds. Integrating synthetic biology with omics techniques has facilitated the engineering of the algal strains with increased efficiency in removing pollutants from wastewater and generated industrially relevant products. This chapter focuses on the recent advancements in metabolic engineering approaches to improve algal biomass for enhancing their ability of wastewater phycoremediation, bioenergy and industrial applicability of harvested algal biomass and several value-added bioactive compounds from algal biomass.
