There is a greater need to search for alternative sources of energy due to the limited availability of fossil fuels. The use of biofuels is the common alternative in front of the whole world, and its use is significantly increased in many countries. Generally, biodiesel is used as a fuel for diesel engines due to its technical, environmental, and strategic advantages. Apart from these, biodiesel is technically competitive with conventional, petroleum-derived diesel fuel and requires virtually no changes in the fuel distribution infrastructure. Other advantages of biodiesel as compared to petrodiesel include reduction of most exhaust emissions, biodegradability, higher flash point, inherence, and the fact that it is of domestic origin. However, ethanol is mostly used for Otto cycle engines as an alternative to gasoline.
Nanotechnology is one of the most important research areas in the twenty-first century. The potential applications of nanobiotechnology in the production of sustainable bioenergy and biosensors have encouraged researchers in recent years to investigate new novel nanoscaffolds to build robust nanobiocatalytic systems. Different kinds of nanomaterials have been developed as per the need for application purpose.
