Abstract
Biofuels are gaining importance due to high crude oil prices, high energy demands, and global warming issues. According to the world energy council, the biofuel production will be tripled by 2030, with Brazil and the United States contributing to 80% of the total biofuel production. The use of first generation biofuels is connected with food insecurity and increase in food prices, while second generation biofuels used raw cellulosic mass from nonfood crops. The plant-based fuels are considered in renewable sources with easy
