Biofuel-Redefining the Path to Energy Sustainability in India

Abstract

Traditional energy resources are constantly violating the principle of energy sustainability. On one hand they are constantly depleting all over the earth and on other hand they are creating environmental nuisances. Biofuel or biomass energy coming from plant and animal waste and from several types of algae is a game changer in this situation. They are one of the best examples of sustainable energy sources in India. These energy sources can be generated easily and cost effectively. Moreover, CO2 emissions from these types of fuels are also much less in comparison to traditional sources. More use of biofuels will boost country’s mandate of energy use transformation from traditional to sustainable.
