Enhancing Biofuel Production Through Nanoparticle-assisted Fermentation: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Nanoparticles have many applications in various fields, including biofuel technology, and rising demands for energy and increased harmful environmental impacts of fossil fuel have increasing interest towards biofuel as an alternative eco-friendly source of energy and ethanol blended petrol. The production of ethanol from agricultural waste (rice straw) and banana plant residue with biological approach is an important step toward energy sustainability and in minimizing greenhouse gases emissions. A promising approach, the use of nanoparticles to assist fermentation. The process enhances biofuel production by incorporation of nanoparticles in fermentation process. The purpose of this research paper is to explore the application of nanoparticle-assisted fermentation for enhanced biofuel production. This study explains the process of ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the presence of NiO and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. This study investigates the Comparative analysis of cost and yield production of ethanol production through the fermentation with and without Nanoparticles. The outcomes of this research offer valuable insights into how employing nanoparticles to assist fermentation can strengthen the process and potentially drive advancements in biofuel technologies.
