Abstract

Today, as it is commonly recognized, energy patterns lead to an unsustainable future, that concerns not only natural energy resources narrowness and scarcity but is strictly linked to greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), mainly CO2 ones. Burning fossil fuels is one of the main causes of energy natural resources depletion and climate changes. After power generation one, transportation is the second sector that considerably generates these phenomena. As per the above, policy makers efforts are more and more focused on how to effectively harmonize growing energy demand and climate change mitigation. In these scenarios, a valuable option is the increase of renewable energy sources utilization. Among these sources a relevant role is held by biofuels intending any fuel derived from biomass, living organisms (algae) or their metabolic byproducts (bovine manure). Biofuels of so called “third generation” seem to be a promising possibility to convert a low-input and high-yield no food feedstock into biofuels, mitigating the transportation sector influence on energy demand and climate changes. The objective of this paper is to investigate the role of the third generation biofuels, their impact on existing transportation sustainability and linked emergent markets.
