Preface

The increasing prices of crude oil, the depleting nonrenewable energy resources, and the growing concern for climate change have led to a significant interest in renewable energy, including bioenergy. There is a need to shift the current energy spectrum to green energy by creating advanced technologies to utilize renewable resources (such as agro-forestry biomass) for bioenergy production to keep pace with the growing demand for energy. The research in bioenergy is receiving unprecedented attention from all over the world due to the potential of biofuels as a replacement for fossil fuels. The First International Conference on “Recent Advances in Bio-energy Research” (ICRABR-2015) organized by the Sardar Swaran Singh National Institute of Bio-Energy as an attempt to bring together researchers to form a meaningful conversation on directions of bioenergy. This proceeding
