Abstract
Clean, renewable, and sustainable energy is required daily to improve social, economic, and environmental health, leading to economic development and productivity. The aim of the work has deliberated on the reoccurrence of renewable energies to assist in the mitigation of climate change and environmental health excellently. This work aims to determine whether renewable energy sources are viable and study how a shift from fossil fuel-based energy sources to renewable energy sources would assist in reducing climate change and its impact. State of the art in biofuels and energy generation from lignocellulosic biomasses has shown that applying advanced technologies such as biorefinery and bioreactors to the chemical transformation process is a sustained strategy. To optimally exploit biorefineries' potential, government policies must favour technological innovations in universities and in an industry that can help produce high-value fuels and products from various biomasses. This work deliberated to light the prospects allied with renewable energy sources; energy security, access to energy, social and economic progress, and climate change mitigation to reduce ecological and health impacts.
