Abstract
As social concerns for the environment have increased owing to the extreme greenhouse gas emissions, the conversion of biomass to renewable bioaviation fuels is drawing attention to replace petroleum-derived aviation fuels. Renewable bioaviation fuel will help reduce CO2 emissions, making it a better substitution than currently available aviation fuels. Renewable biomass is one of the sustainable candidates to consider in the upcoming bio-based industry. Significant efforts have been made to convert lignocellulosic biomass to sugars for aviation fuel synthesis. Genetically modified microbial strains can convert these sugars into a variety of bioproducts, including fatty acid-, 2-keto acid-, and terpene-derived compounds. Further, these compounds are used as precursors for the production of bioaviation fuel. This chapter illustrates biomass pretreatments, biofuel production from sugars obtained after biomass conversion, and metabolic and genetic engineering of suitable microbial strains for enhanced bioaviation fuel production.
