Abstract

Biofuel production is an adequate need which will lessen the emission of harmful effluents into the environment. These will provide better environment than fuels derived from fossil fuels. Economic development is also associated with energy sources available in country. So each country wants to have higher reservoirs of fuels than other. In this scenario each country wants to use new technologies which will help them in expanding their energy resources. Biofuels are alternative source of energy where fossil fuel reserves are not used.
