Abstract
The expeditious demand for energy consumption has drawn global attention towards environmentally benign, renewable, and sustainable energy alternatives. For this, India committed the ‘Intended Nationally Determined Contribution’ (INDC) towards the Paris Agreement of the ‘United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’ (UNFCCC). A potential solution is the production of biofuels from non-feed oil crops, agricultural wastes, and aromatic or medicinal plant wastes generated through industrial processes. The utilization of these alternate sources lays out a solution for the food vs fuel dilemma along with the utilization of an abundant amount of waste being generated worldwide. Therefore, a considerable economic value could be generated by converting ‘waste’ into activated carbons; it can also help contribute to a cleaner drive.
