Abstract
United Nations sustainability development goals approached from the side of the biological production of fuels.
Highlights
Huge economic and technological leaps have been made since the start of industrial revolution in the 18th century and through developments in the last 70 years
During the first two decades of the 21st century, it has been estimated that terrestrial transport represents nearly 20% of all carbon emissions, and CO2 emissions linked to aircraft were calculated to be 2% of all human emissions
Biofuels are produced from biological materials, most often oils, cereal grains, sugarcane or biomass derived from plants or wastes, and they represent an alternative to fossil fuels that offers a number of social, economic, environmental and technical benefits (Kocßar and Civasß, 2013; Voegele, 2013; Ramos et al, 2016; Valdivia et al, 2016; Ramos and Duque, 2019)
