“…However, lipid production cost and quantity are significant factors behind its applicability. Bioengineering intervention to produce lipids/fat/oil (TGA) and further their chemical or enzymatic transesterification to accelerate biodiesel production has a great future [ 18 , 20 , 62 , 136 ]. Microalgal oil production from current technologies is still too expensive to commercialize due to efficient photo-bioreactor designs, contamination control methods, and downstream processing.…”

“…Genetic engineering methods to produce biodiesel from various sources including plant, yeast, algae, and agricultural or other waste is one of the recent technologies, which could be a promising alternative for creating truly sustainable, technically feasible, and cost-competitive biodiesel [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The higher production of microbial lipids with lower production input may develop a commercial scalable biodiesel production system.…”

“…Significant progress in both cellular and bioprocess engineering has been achieved in past decades [ 20 ]. The metabolic engineering approach includes improved carbon assimilation, limiting fatty acid flux, higher precursors such as acetyl-CoA availability, higher activity of lipid synthesis enzymes, added gene expression towards lipid synthesis, down- regulating the catabolism of fatty acids by inhibiting β-oxidation or lipase hydrolysis and transcription factor engineering [ 18 , 21 ]. Research showed that the metabolically engineered Yarrowia lipolytica can accumulate 70–90% lipids of biomass from glucose only [ 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

Biodiesel is an alternative, carbon-neutral fuel compared to fossil-based diesel, which can reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. Biodiesel is a product of microorganisms, crop plants, and animal-based oil and has the potential to prosper as a sustainable and renewable energy source and tackle growing energy problems. Biodiesel has a similar composition and combustion properties to fossil diesel and thus can be directly used in internal combustion engines as an energy source at the commercial level. Since biodiesel produced using edible/non-edible crops raises concerns about food vs. fuel, high production cost, monocropping crisis, and unintended environmental effects, such as land utilization patterns, it is essential to explore new approaches, feedstock and technologies to advance the production of biodiesel and maintain its sustainability. Adopting bioengineering methods to produce biodiesel from various sources such as crop plants, yeast, algae, and plant-based waste is one of the recent technologies, which could act as a promising alternative for creating genuinely sustainable, technically feasible, and cost-competitive biodiesel. Advancements in genetic engineering have enhanced lipid production in cellulosic crops and it can be used for biodiesel generation. Bioengineering intervention to produce lipids/fat/oil (TGA) and further their chemical or enzymatic transesterification to accelerate biodiesel production has a great future. Additionally, the valorization of waste and adoption of the biorefinery concept for biodiesel production would make it eco-friendly, cost-effective, energy positive, sustainable and fit for commercialization. A life cycle assessment will not only provide a better understanding of the various approaches for biodiesel production and waste valorization in the biorefinery model to identify the best technique for the production of sustainable biodiesel, but also show a path to draw a new policy for the adoption and commercialization of biodiesel.

“…The lipid yield of microalgae in relation to plants currently used to obtain biodiesel was indeed, up to 100 times higher (Ljupković, 2014;Danilović et al, 2014), but recent research showed that their cultivation for the purpose of biodiesel production was still neither sustainable nor economically justified (Kenny, Flynn, 2017). Researchers are still in the search for a higher productivity production method with higher stability to be used in industrial processes (Deniz, Aslanbay, Imamoglu, 2019).…”

If Serbia is to continue with European integration, European policies related to the use of biofuels will have to be implemented. Directive 2009/28/EC implies 10% of biofuels in transport fuel by the end of 2020. Although the production and use of biodiesel is in line with the practice of developed countries, Serbia does not produce nor use significant quantities of this fuel. Based on the conducted analysis, it was established that Serbia has the potential to produce biodiesel by processing its domestic raw materials. The logical step, then, is to re-establish the domestic biodiesel industry. This paper presents and discuss important factors for biodiesel producers or / and investors, in an attempt to mitigate business risks or to provide a starting point in a search for ways to turn these factors into gains. The PESTLE framework was used for classification of these factors, on account of its common use in making strategic decisions.
