Abstract Chemical fixation of CO2 as a C1 feedstock for producing value-added products is an important post-combustion technology reducing the CO2 emission. As it is an irreversible process, not considered for the CO2 capture and release. Overall, these chemical transformations also do not help to mitigate global warming, as the energy consumed in different forms is much higher than the amount of CO2 fixed by chemical reactions. Here we describe the development of re-generable chemical fixation of CO2 by spiroaziridine oxindole, where CO2 is captured (chemical fixation) under catalyst-free condition at room temperature both in aqueous and non-aqueous medium even directly from the slow stream of flue gas producing regioselectively spirooxazolidinyl oxindoles, a potential drug. The CO2-adduct is reversed back to the spiroaziridine releasing CO2 under mild conditions. Further both the fixation-defixation of CO2 can be repeated under near ambient conditions for several cycles in a single loop using a recyclable reagent.

Energy crisis and continuously fluctuating cost of petroleum have move attention of researchers toward renewable and sustainable energy sources and materials. Biomass or bioresources is one of the abundant and cheap renewable energy sources and materials that is environment friendly in Malaysia and other tropical countries in the world. It has been identified as one of the main sources of the sustainable energy in the fifth fuel strategy in Malaysia. This paper describes several possible routes to provide energy as well as potential value-added products from bioresources. The future trend in thermo-conversion processing of the biomass is the utilization of microwave energy into renewable bio-fuels, materials and chemicals. The potential of uses of bio-oils and bio-chars from oil palm solid wastes for biofuels, materials and chemicals are given. The applications of these renewable sources to produce biofuels, materials and chemicals have been applied in some countries around the world. The implementation of the biomass technology will be best utilized and feasible when the technology is developed locally, fabricated and commission with the utilization of locally produced biomass. With the research and development efforts developed locally towards local expertise will help to produce indigenous technologies, thus reducing the high cost of import technology.

Significant problems have arisen in the last years, such as climate change, global warming, and hunger. These complications are correlated with the depletion and exploitation of natural resources and environmental contamination. Due to overcrowding, the list of challenges for the next few years is growing. A comprehensive approach was made to the agro-industrial production of Avocado (Persea americana) and the management of all its biomass waste. So, bioprocesses and biorefinery can be used to produce high added-value products. A large number of residues are composed of lignin and cellulose. They have many potentials to be exploited sustainably for chemical and biological conversion; physical, chemical, and natural treatments improve the following operations. There are some applications to many fields such as pharmaceutical, medical, material engineering, and environmental remediation. Possible pathways are mentioned to take advantage of Avocado as biofuels, drugs, bioplastics, and even in the environmental part and emerging technologies such as nanotechnology using bioprocesses and biotech. In conclusion, Avocado and its waste could be transformed into high value-added products in industries above to mitigate global warming and save non-renewable energy.
