Abstract

In context to the concerns related to attenuation of crude oil reserves, rise in demand and price of petroleum, global climate change and energy security; bioenergy is increasingly becoming relevant as a potential alternative to fossil fuels. Biofuels are derived from renewable bio-mass resources and therefore provide a strategic advantage to promote sustainable development associated with high economic growth. Here, in this short review, an overview of current scenario of biofuel production is discussed.
