Bioethanol, synthesized through the valorization of biomass resources, is of great importance to many industries. As bioethanol has become more abundant and its price has decreased, it has become an attractive candidate for application as a base material for the synthesis of a variety of petrochemicals and fuel through catalysis. In this article, a comprehensive review of the catalytic conversion of bioethanol into hydrocarbons, including olefins and gasoline, is presented. In addition, developments and potential research opportunities in the field of bioethanol catalysis are provided to enhance bioethanol conversion. According to the findings of the study, despite significant progress in bioethanol conversion, further research is needed to address several challenges that will enable improved biofuel and chemical production.

“…Thus, they are considered a green sustainable alternative due to their ability to avoid using harmful substrates and producing toxic wastes ( 52 ; Zhang et al, 2019). The most commonly used heterogeneous catalysts include transition metal oxides, rare earth metals, supported metal catalysts, hydroxyapatites (HAP) (Wang et al, 2018 53 ;) and zeolites ( 54,55 ; Y 56,57 …”

In the coming years, energy sources will play a vital role in global development. Biofuels made from sustainable sources are essential for the global economy's long‐term viability and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Clean, renewable, and sustainable must be the watchwords for future energy strategy. Alcohol fuels are again becoming a popular term in the context of green fuel usage in relation to climate change mitigation and clean fuel technology. In this review, low alcohol synthesis, applications and limitations as fuel and its catalytic conversion to fuel and petrochemicals were discussed, in addition to the techno‐economic evaluation, environmental implications and prospects for practical application of low alcohols as fuels and petrochemicals. The study shows that lower alcohols have emerged as a fundamental feedstock for the synthesis of fuels and value‐added chemicals due to the increased accessibility of conversion technologies in recent years, but the cost of producing lower alcohols affects their commercialization and availability.

“…Numerous studies have been carried out in ethanol dehydration with zeolite catalysts, some of which have been described in more detail [41]. The study by Zhang et al [42] using the HZSM-5 catalyst (Si/Al = 25) for the ethylene synthesis from ethanol evaluated the performance and stability of the zeolite employed in the process.…”

Energy sources will contribute enormously to global economic development in the coming years. Global energy sectors mainly depend on fossil fuels, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. With the threat of declining oil supplies and the need to reduce CO2 emissions, the development of viable substitutes for fossil fuels is high on the global priority list. Currently, there is an increased focus on using low alcohols as fuels and petrochemicals. Catalytic conversion is a viable approach for upgrading low alcohols to fuels and value-added chemicals. This review study shows that optimal catalyst modification improves catalytic performance in the volarization of bioethanol. Heterogeneous catalysts are widely used in bioethanol conversion due to their activity. However, further studies are needed to address the challenges of limited selectivity, catalyst deactivation, recovery, and regeneration for improved biofuel production.
