Harmful effects on living organisms and the environment are on the rise due to a significant increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through human activities. Therefore, various research initiatives have been carried out in several directions in relation to the utilization of GHGs via physicochemical or biological routes. An environmentally friendly approach to reduce the burden of significant emissions and their harmful effects is the bioconversion of GHGs, including methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), into value-added products. Methanotrophs have enormous potential for the efficient biotransformation of CH4 to various bioactive molecules, including biofuels, polyhydroxyalkanoates, and fatty acids. This review highlights the recent developments in methanotroph-based systems for methanol production from GHGs and proposes future perspectives to improve process sustainability via biorefinery approaches.
