Abstract

Utilization of energy is increasing rapidly while sources of energy are limited. Furthermore, because of using fossil fuel, a lot of emissions are observed, which are bad elements for both human and nature, as well as increasing global warming. Biofuels are considered environment friendly than fossil fuel. Biofuels additionally boost rural development by shifting of power from petro to agro-industry at the same time. Having a lot of potentiality, there are some issues need to be considered. If the agricultural resources are utilized for running vehicles and such activities, certainly there will be food crisis. Therefore, some kind of optimization and advancements are required. This study includes introduction of different types of biofuels and compiles the benefit and challenges of it.
