The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 interlinked goals designed to be a 'shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future'. Therefore, global efforts should focus on achieving these. Herein, we discuss the contribution of electrobiotechnology to the realization of the SDGs.

Advances in protein engineering-enabled enzyme immobilization technologies have significantly improved enzyme-electrode wiring in enzymatic electrochemical systems, which harness natural biological machinery to either generate electricity or synthesize biochemicals. In this review, we provide guidelines for designing enzyme-electrodes, focusing on how performance variables change depending on electron transfer (ET) mechanisms. Recent advancements in enzyme immobilization technologies are summarized, highlighting their contributions to extending enzyme-electrode sustainability (up to months), enhancing biosensor sensitivity, improving biofuel cell performance, and setting a new benchmark for turnover frequency in bioelectrocatalysis.

Enset fiber is a promising feedstock for biofuel production with the potential to reduce carbon emissions and improve the sustainability of the energy system. This study aimed to maximize hydrogen and butanol production from Enset fiber through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process in bottles as well as in bioreactor. The SSF process in bottles resulted in a higher butanol concentration of 11.

The interplay of these factors determines the overall efficiency of BES in generating electricity and treating waste. The recent progress in bioelectrochemistry of BESs and electrobiotechnology exposed an important group of compounds, which have a significant contribution to operation and efficiency: surface-active agents, also termed surfactants.
