Abstract

Increasing global population indirectly increases the world energy demand and way to economic crisis. The continuous burning of petroleum fuel leads to lack of fuel supply and causes several adverse effects on the environment. It is very difficult to balance the increasing global population and their energy demand. Generating bioenergy from renewable feedstock will be the best way to balance the current world energy demand and strengthen the global economic crisis. Biofuels have emerged as a viable source of long-term energy resources and have been classified under renewable energy resources.
