BRJ's March issue showcases outstanding biofuel research, reviews, and perspectives across the journal's broad scope. The issue features important fundamental research in chemistry of fuel additives production and bioethanol production, as well as reviews and perspectives in environmental sustainability in the biofuel industry.BRJ`s review articles in this issue cover current status and future prospects of biofuel industry in Canada and different microalgal pretreatment for bioethanol production. The editorial deals with real-world challenges faced by the biofuel industry worldwide from the environmental sustainability point of view discussing instrumental tools to manage the associated concerns. We hope you enjoy reading it.
On the cover Although the biofuel industry addresses, at least partially, both energy and environmental issues, its activities utilize matter and energy and also generate wastes, potentially affecting the environment and human health. In this issue of Biofuel Research Journal, Professor Marc A. Rosen (pp. 751-752) emphasizes that careful and serious consideration of the environmental sustainability aspects of this industry is necessary. In the cover image, the application of exergy-based methods, encompassing the essences of the other sustainability assessment tools like LCA, appear to be promising tools in the analysis of biofuel production systems from thermodynamic, economic, and environmental perspectives simultaneously, leading to overall sustainability of the planet.
