With the increasing worldwide demand of energy along with the depletion of conventional fossil fuel reserves, there has been growing global interest in developing alternative sources of energy. There has also been concern in growing economies regarding energy security. Biofuels offer much promise on these frontiers. In addition to the above, they also have a reduced environmental impact in comparison to fossil fuels. Biofuels provides state-of-the-art information on the status of biofuel production and related aspects. It includes detailed overview of the alternative energy field and the role of biofuels as new energy sources. It gives a detailed account of the production of biodiesel from non conventional bio-feedstocks such as algae and vegetable oils.
