“…Driven by the rising prices of fossil fuel energy from 1999 to 2008, biofuels have surged as substitutes for conventional fuels [1]. Coupled with concerns about climate change triggered by excessive greenhouse gas emissions and to promote energy efficiency, biofuels have a vital influence on the progress of green economics [2].…”

This paper investigates the heterogeneous dependence between global crude oil futures and China’s biofuel feedstock commodities under different market conditions. Quantile-on-quantile regression and the causality-in-quantiles test are employed to capture comprehensive and informative relationships. The empirical results are as follows: First, there is a positive relationship between the returns on China’s biofuel feedstock commodities and crude oil. The effects are heterogeneous, conditional on the market regimes, where the impacts of the bearish/bullish crude oil market on biofuel feedstock commodity returns are significant when the commodity market in China is in a bearish/bullish state. Second, crude oil returns have reliable predictive power for the returns on China’s biofuel feedstock commodities under the average market condition and move in connection with the volatility of China’s biofuel-related commodity market in normal and bullish market conditions. Third, the risk reduction effectiveness of soybean and corn is significant, while for wheat, this reduction in portfolio risk is less apparent and enhanced, and the risk reduction effectiveness increases significantly during financial and oil crises. Overall, our findings will be helpful in understanding the heterogeneous interplay between global oil and China’s biofuel-related commodities and in evaluating portfolio diversification opportunities under different market conditions.

“…Due to their distinct properties, biofuels have recently gained global recognition as an alternative to fossil fuels (Manikandan et al, 2022). Many plant materials, including vegetables, sugarcane, corn, palm oil, soybeans, jatropha, and fruit wastes, are being used as feedstock for biofuel production on nearly every continent (Raschke et al, 2021;Usmani et al, 2022;Pathak et al, 2022a). Unlike most other biofuels, biodiesel has the potential to either replace or supplement fossil-based diesel.…”

The global energy crisis affects all of us. With a growing global population and finite fossil fuel supplies, we must find new energy sources. Alternative energy sources must be prioritized. Biofuels like biodiesel, biohydrogen, biomethanol, and bioethanol have come a long way in recent decades. These alternative fuels are from low-cost, renewable sources like algal, microbial, and plant biomass. Several governments, including India, are improving their renewable energy production capabilities. The main obstacles to rapid biofuel adoption are time and cost. For biofuel to truly become a viable alternative to fossil fuels, nanotechnology has recently provided the much-needed impetus. Nanomaterials' unique structural behavior, such as small size (nanoscale size), has increased their use in biofuel production. It improves efficiency and reduces the time required to convert waste into biofuels. This review addresses the latest information on various types of nanoparticles, and challenges faced and the future prospects of emerging applications of nanoparticles in biofuel production.

Dynamics of energy and biofuel markets in the context of rising oil prices

Rising fossil energy prices have sparked interest in biofuels, which has led to a closer link between biofuels and fossil energy markets. We apply a thermal optimal path approach based on daily returns to examine the lead‐lag correlation between three biomass futures and three energy futures for 2020–2022. The empirical results show that the biomass futures market first leads the energy futures market with a significant probability of 20–30 days. Second, the lead days decrease sharply after regional conflicts occur, and the link between the two markets strengthens. Third, the sequence of risk transmission between overseas and domestic energy markets changes, and domestic energy markets become more resilient. Finally, the epidemic disrupted the normal transmission of signals between markets, while regional conflicts reconstructed the links, and the transmission time was shorter. In the post‐Covid‐19 period, ongoing conflicts have synchronized risks between markets, further amplifying the possibility of crises.
