| Summary: | Topics such as global warming, carbon credit, vehicle emissions and renewable fuels are not new on the agenda of researchers and the world research centers. Sustainability is no longer a fad, becoming a necessity. The search for clean energy solutions has gained more space and relevance in the world. In Brazil, biodiesel and ethanol are already widely used in road transport. However, factors such as availability and price of raw materials and the need to develop biofuels for other applications, such as aviation, maintain efforts to develop new routes and new biofuels. Given the importance of the subject, a survey was conducted in periodic database available in the Portal de Periódicos CAPES/MEC, a Brazilian website developed by the federal government to support researchers, in order to verify the trends and opportunities in biofuels. |
