Advances in Sustainable Fuel Materials for Industrial Applications: A Systematic Review

The use of fossil fuels in the industry has resulted in a significant environmental impact, contributing to high levels of CO2 emissions. The growing need for sustainable alternatives has driven research into biofuels, hydrogen, and other renewable energy sources. To address this issue, a systematic review was conducted using the ScienceDirect and Scopus databases, selecting relevant studies published between 2020 and 2024. The PRISMA2020 model and VOSviewer 1.6.20 software were applied for data analysis. The results highlight advancements in biodiesel production from various raw materials, emission reductions in the maritime industry through liquefied natural gas (LNG) utilization, and improved combustion efficiency using hydrogen in industrial engines. It is concluded that technological development and the implementation of environmental policies are essential for a sustainable energy transition.
