Abstract EN
Large amounts of fossil fuels are consumed every day in spite of increasing environmental problems.
To preserve the environment and construct a sustainable society, the use of biofuels derived from different kinds of biomass is being practiced worldwide.
Although bioethanol has been largely produced, it commonly requires food crops such as corn and sugar cane as substrates.
To develop a sustainable energy supply, cellulosic biomass should be used for bioethanol production instead of grain biomass.
For this purpose, cell surface engineering technology is a very promising method.
In biobutanol and biodiesel production, engineered host fermentation has attracted much attention; however, this method has many limitations such as low productivity and low solvent tolerance of microorganisms.
Despite these problems, biofuels such as bioethanol, biobutanol, and biodiesel are potential energy sources that can help establish a sustainable society.
