A review of biofuel production from floating aquatic plants: an emerging source of bio‐renewable energy

Abstract: Aquatic plants have been considered as a cause for concern because they impede aquatic flora and fauna. However, biofuel production from aquatic plants is an emerging energy source. As a consequence, this paper presents a detailed review of bio‐fuel production from floating aquatic plants with their physicochemical properties. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the biofuel production potential of some major aquatic plants. This paper also presents some methods for biofuel production from aquatic plant… Show more

“…This part of the review focuses on the production of bioalcohols using duckweed biomass. Methods for biofuel production from several floating aquatic plants by transesterification, pyrolysis, hydrolysis and torrefraction have been reviewed (Ma and Hanna 1999;Arefin et al 2021;Djandja et al 2021).…”

“…Biofuel can be produced by using transesterification, torrefaction, pyrolysis, and so on processes from Azolla, water fern, water hyacinth, duckweed, and water lettuce. 90 Usually, the alkaline and acid pretreatment process is used for the pre-treatment of aquatic plants to overcome the lower-level of lignin in biofuel. 91 The generated bio-oil from the transesterification process needs to be upgraded as sometimes it cannot be used directly with traditional fuel.…”

“…Thus, the industrialization of energy using a technology-oriented route might encounter problems related to the scarcity of raw materials. The biomass energy industry must shift from grain to non-grain energy plants as the main raw material [ 9 , 10 ]. Thus, there is an urgent need to determine non-grain energy plant resources that are suitable for new energy industrialization and large-scale development to solve the scarcity of raw materials.…”
