Food Process Industry Waste Biomass as a Promising Alternative for Green Energy Production

The most significant renewable energy source in the world is biomass, and as national energy strategy and policy place more emphasis on renewable energy sources and conservation, biomass will become even more significant. Biomass has the potential to deliver a reasonable and long-lasting supply of green energy in the future. Green bioenergy synthesis from food waste is growing in popularity in recent days, gaining more recognition as a renewable energy source that could help manage rising energy costs and perhaps provide income to industries involved in food processing. Food waste can potentially be exploited for the synthesis of green fuel. Green bioenergy produced from biomass derived from food waste offers incomparable socioeconomic, environmental, and strategic advantages and can be viewed as a safe and cleaner liquid and gaseous fuel substitute for conventional fossil fuels. Renewable and sustainable energy sources are gaining importance due to global warming and the world’s energy future. At the bench scale, there has been a significant advancement in the creation of green energy (biohydrogen, biomethane, biodiesel, biohythane, and bioethanol) from food waste. Based on information from recent literature, the purpose of this chapter is to investigate the possibility of producing green energy from food waste using modern conversion technologies. Additionally, the state of biomass-based green energy production methods using food waste is thoroughly discussed, which might make it simpler for the scientific and industrial communities to properly utilize food waste.
