Biofuels can be used as an alternative energy source. These are cost effective as well as environment friendly. Biofuels are generally derived from the ethanol. In future the energy sources to be derived from ethanol will increase. The demand of diesel and gas will also reduce in future. Globally, Brazil is the number producer of biofuels followed by United States.

We can’t deny the importance and advantages of biofuels over the traditional petroleum based fuels. Energy crises has accelerated the demand of the energy alternatives. Anyhow, a boost in the biofuel industry is expected in the following years.

Before the production of the biofuels, the manufacturing companies must consider the consequences of a particular biomass they are going to use. Generally based on the recent reports, the use of biofuels is discouraged as they adversely effect the people, plants, transportation industry, food industry, and most important the environment.

Biomass fuel is an essential renewable energy source. The resources for biomass energy are numerous which make a substantial amount. Like any other energy source biomass fuel has huge number of applications.
