Abstract
Biomass a renewable resource, whose
utilization has received great attention due
to environmental consideration and the
increasing demand for energy world wide.
Biofuel is a fuel which is produced mainly
by fermentation and combustion. The most
important biomass energy sources are
wood and wood wastes, agricultural crops,
municipal solid waste, animal waste, waste
from food processes and aquatic plant and
algae.This poster reviews about biofuels ,
their production, types applications and
ways to make biofuel production
economically feasible.
Advantages of biofuel over fossil fuel
Production of Biofuel in different
countries
Conclusion
Biofuel is a renewable source of energy
because emissions produced on its
combustion are again used in its
formation. Biofuels can replace fossil
fuels totally together with other
renewable sources of energy. We should
increase the production of plants rich in
high sugar content and capable of grow
in normal conditions like jatropha,
sugarcane, etc. We should also introduce
new technology for the production of
more biodiesel from less biomass in very
low cost so that we can meet and fulfill
the demand of fuel.
Cost benefit
Easy to source
Renewable
Lower emissions
Reduce GHS
Reduce dependency on foreign fuels
Higher sustainability
Introduction
Methods of formation of biofuels
Classification of biofuels
Biofuels from algae Future Goals
Like a coin biofuels also have advantages
and disadvantages . But it is still better
than the conventional sources of energy
production. Fossil fuels are limited and
they are depleting day by day. Hence
biofuels can be used as a substitute for
fossil fuels. Biofuels are more efficient and
economical than fossil fuels and they need
not to be exported from foreign countries
and can be produced easily from any type
of biomass.
A Biofuel is a fuel that is produced through
contemporary biological processes, such as
agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather
than a fuel produced by geological
processes. Biofuels can be derived directly
from plants, or indirectly from agriculture
commercial, domestic, or industrial waste
and can be used as fuel, power
generation,etc. . In the industrialized
countries the main biomass processes are
expected to be direct combustion of residues
and wastes for energy generation. . In the

Disadvantages
High cost production
Monoculture and deforestation
