Biofuel is a non polluting, locally available, accessible, sustainable and reliable fuel obtained from renewable sources. In order to deliberate the key issues by scientific and research community and industry to accelerate the growth of biofuel industry, Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur organized a National Conference on Biofuels: Potential and Challenges from 25 - 26 February, 2009. The conference has bought together researchers, policy makers, industries and all other stakeholders so that productive discussions can take place on how best to meet India s growing biofuel needs. This book is a edited collection of papers presented during the conference, published in the form of proceedings.
