“…Biochemical conversion processes use biological agents, such as bacteria or enzymes (other catalysts in the case of chemical methods), to break down biomass and give rise to available carbohydrates, which can be converted into liquid fuels and biogas, as well as various types of bioproducts [ 57 ]. The most widely used biochemical methods in the generation of advanced biofuels are fermentation and anaerobic digestion [ 58 ].…”

The use of biofuels offers advantages over existing fuels because they come from renewable sources, they are biodegradable, their storage and transport are safer, and their emissions into the atmosphere are lower. Biomass is one of the most promising sustainable energy sources with a wide variety of organic materials as raw material. Chemical, biochemical, and thermochemical methods have been proposed to obtain biofuels from raw materials from biomass. In recent years, a thermochemical method that has generated great interest is hydrothermal liquefaction. In this paper, a brief review of the main sources for liquid biofuels and the synthesis processes is presented, with special emphasis on the production of biofuels using hydrothermal liquefaction by using waste generated by human activity as raw material.
