n view of global attention to reduce our dependency on non-renewable resources, extensive efforts have been spurred
towards sustainable development and utilization of our natural resources to mitigate the effects of rising global energy
demand, due to continuous growth of world population and industrialized economy. This has motivated the utilization
and transformation of biomass into useful bioenergy and biomaterials. The speech features sharing of technology and
conversion processes from the perspective of sustainability, in line with global established goals and principles, such
as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 12 principles of Green Chemistry. Furthermore, researches on process
development and innovation of biomass conversion to various types of biofuels and bio-based products are highlighted.
These include studies on liquid fuels, such as biodiesel and bio-oil, derived via esterification, pyrolysis and liquefaction
processes. Studies on syngas and solid biochar production with increased calorific values through catalytic gasification
and torrefaction, are also presented. Apart from that, biopesticides derived bio-active compounds extracted from plant
materials using supercritical fluid extraction and synthesis of novel natural-hydro low-transition-temperature-mixture using
malic acid extracted from plants by microwave hydrothermal technology for biomass delignification will be discussed.
Intensification technology for biodegradabledrilling fluidproperties improvement usingnanoparticles (graphenenanosheet,
carbon nanotube and graphene oxide) are studied and compared. Research on synthesis of renewable diesel from rubber
seed oil hydrotreated by novel hydrogen-rich donor solvent is also shared. The development of microporous activated
carbon via simplified physical activation from various agricultural and industrial wastes and study on their performance on
gas sorption is also presented.
