Biofuels will play a key role in the 21st century as the world faces two critical problems; volatile fuel prices and global climatic changes.

Despite a significant amount of research into biofuels, the field has not been able to replace fossil fuels. Recent advances will change this scenario. Extracting fuel from biomass has been very expensive (both monetarily and in land usage), ... Read more
