“…This research is particularly significant for policymakers who have several tools at their disposal to accelerate changes and provide equitable possibilities for hydrogen as a fuel alternative using MFC systems. Moreover, this framework helps select analysis parameters and interpret the outcomes; however, these concerns are interconnected, and a holistic strategy is required (Rozene et al, 2021;Ummalyma and Bhaskar, 2023).…”

This review presents a techno-economic analysis of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in the domain of generating sustainable energy and treating wastewater with the aim of attracting investors through research and development for residential and commercial applications. The operation principles and various MFC types, along with their advantages and disadvantages, are thoroughly considered. The efficiency of various MFC types is considered to present appropriate options for commercial applications. However, large-scale integrations face substantial financial limitations owing to the reluctance of investors. This review explores the cost-benefit balance associated with the operation of an MFC system. For encouraging investors, different cost variables, such as the initial investment, operating costs, potential electricity generation, and waste treatment capacity, are thoroughly considered. These variables are placed on the spectrum of a cost-benefit analysis to vitalize the economic feasibility of the MFC technology in various scenarios, considering an order of financial variables. MFC development at an optimized cost is the pivotal pre-requisite to secure a competitive advantage over conventional sources of energy with carbon emissions. Thus, this study is expected to prompt decision-makers to adopt the MFC technology at the commercial level.

This comprehensive review aims to explore and elucidate the pivotal role of biotechnology in biofuel production, specifically focusing on its contribution to enhancing sustainability, efficiency, and productivity in the energy sector. By examining various biotechnological approaches like genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology, it seeks to provide insights into effectively harnessing biofuel generation processes, including the integration of machine learning and life cycle assessment for microalgae cultivation and harvesting. Additionally, it sheds light on the multifaceted implications surrounding biofuel production and consumption, addressing technological, ethical, social, and economic considerations. Through critical analysis of the advantages and challenges associated with biotechnology-driven biofuel development, it offers a balanced perspective on the true potential of biofuels as a viable, sustainable, and equitable energy source for the future. This examination provides a holistic analysis of the symbiotic relationship between biotechnology and biofuels, highlighting how advancements in biotechnological techniques can pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy future. By addressing both the promises and limitations of biotechnology in this context, it aims to contribute to informed decision-making and policy formulation to drive the transition toward a cleaner and more equitable energy paradigm.
