Abstract

The rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves, coupled with escalating environmental concerns such as climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, has intensified the global search for sustainable and renewable energy alternatives. Among these, biofuels derived from agricultural waste have emerged as a promising solution due to their abundance, renewability and minimal competition with food resources. Agricultural residues such as rice straw, wheat straw, corn stover, and sugarcane bagasse are rich in lignocellulosic biomass, which can be converted into biofuels. However, the complex and recalcitrant nature of lignocellulose poses significant challenges for efficient conversion. Synthetic biology has revolutionized this field by enabling precise genetic manipulation, metabolic pathway optimization,
