Catalysis plays a pivotal role in the biofuel industry for several reasons:
1. Increased Efficiency: Catalysts can significantly speed up the conversion processes of raw materials into biofuels, making the production more efficient. 2. Cost Reduction: By enhancing reaction rates, catalysts can reduce the energy requirements and operational costs of biofuel production. 3. Selectivity: Catalysts can be designed to achieve high selectivity, ensuring that the desired biofuel product is obtained with minimal by-products.
