ABSTRACT

In the recent times, issues revolving around environmental well-being and climate change have fostered attention towards biofuels. Biohythane is a promising futuristic fuel among biofuels, owing to its reduced carbon content. The valorization of wastes to biohythane from agricultural, food, and effluents has been discussed in a broad spectrum of advancements of technology. The mechanisms involved in the synthesis of biohythane have been elucidated on. The effect of various factors in terms of pH, temperature, reactor configurations, HRT, etc., on the process has been described to assess optimum environments. Furthermore, the resultant yields and waste toxicity reduction obtained by various researchers have been summarized along with applied enhancements for improved outcomes to encapsulate a complete idea of the intricacies of processes.
