Abstract

New generation energy sources is very much essential in Indian and global context. The available renewable sources have to be optimized to give maximum biofuel returns. The selective techniques have been imprisoned on the research institutes and University laboratories. The major sources includes Algae, Jatropha oil and vegetable oils, cellulosic materials, corn and sugarcane etc. have been under surveillance since late 1990s. Major drawback so far for renewable energy sources are continuous flow of energy of biofuel from a single one. Overestimation of potential of Jatropha oil, as a potent source has been identified and slowly rejected by growers and the planners. Algae, one of the most effective sources of biodiesel, production technique and availability of water sources has been under scanner. The conversion of vegetable oil and food grain sources for biodiesel got thumb down indicator from many. The new addition of cellulosic biofuel as a second generation biofuel has abundant availability of raw material. But, it required a lot of research hours to confirm the best suitable technique and the best source for economically viable production system. Under the mentioned constraints, lays the hope and assurance for finding best source and technique to produce biofuel for the use of masses. As, the conventional sources of energy drying up at faster rate, the alternate sources be explored, examined and implemented in no time.

Highlights

  • Bio-diesel production is in rise day-by-day basis in India as well as foreign countries

  • As we are more comfortable using energy from fossil fuel, we would like to replicate the fuel from available renewable sources

  • The planners and Government organizations discourage the research works on renewable energy sources and use of free energy citing that the cost of fossil fuel is low and abundant being created from nature

Summary

Introduction

Bio-diesel production is in rise day-by-day basis in India as well as foreign countries. As we are more comfortable using energy from fossil fuel, we would like to replicate the fuel from available renewable sources. The bio-diesel gained quicker popularity as a source of renewed energy among the planners, researchers and users Table 1 [2]. The planners and Government organizations discourage the research works on renewable energy sources and use of free energy citing that the cost of fossil fuel is low and abundant being created from nature. The history of biodiesel goes back to the era of development of diesel engine by Mr Rudolph Diesel in 1890s He suggested of using vegetable oils as biofuel in the diesel engine in the remote areas where diesel is not available [4].
