A variety of approaches to this subject is constantly evolving. The advances made toward renewable transportation fuels through catalytic technologies are being continually developed in biology areas as well, therefore, the efficient use of secondary, tertiary and quaternary biological resources may be required. The development of biofuels that utilize lignocellulosic biomass and algae could allow for the large scale production of sustainable fuels and valuable chemicals. Many others, classical and novel processes of catalytic processing of biomass are subject to discussion. The best strategy is a combination of competing technologies.
