complex environmental and economic scenarios, renewable energy alternates such
as biodiesel, hydrogen, wind, solar and bioenergy sources, which can produce
energy with zero carbon residue are emerging as excellent clean energy source.
Formaximizingtheefficiencyandproductivityofcleanfuelsviagreen&renewable

Foreword
Replacementoffossilfuelswithrenewableenergyisimportanttosavetheenviron-
mentfromitshazardouseffectaswellasfulfillingtheneedsofsociety.Renewable
energy production is a unique sustainable replacement option of fossil fuels in the
form ofbiofuels production,whichischeap, renewable,andenvironmentfriendly.
The cost of technology involved in this green fuel production process is the main
limitationofitspracticalandcommercialimplementation.Productionprocesssuch

The publication of the book entitled Microbial Strategies for Techno-economic
Biofuel Production is a commendable step in the proposed area. I am writing this
message with satisfaction as a researcher in the same area. This book essentially
containstenchaptersaddressingvariousissuesonpracticalgroundleveltoimprov-
ingtheeconomyofthesystem.Thebookpresentsdetailsofvariousmicrobialand
microbes-related parameters used in different biofuels production technologies
including biogas, biobutanol, bioethanol, biohydrogen, and biodiesel. In my view,
the book will prove itself as an asset to those working and interested in this field,
whichincludesscientists,researchers,teachers,students,andindustries.
