Abstract
The widespread use of fossil fuels has immensely affected our planet. Change in climate and global warming are the outcomes of excessive use of fossil fuels. The serious concerns of depletion of exhaustible resources has shifted scientific attention to find alternative sources of existing transport fuels to reduce environmental pollution. Biofuels are considered as renewable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly sources of energy that can drive the modern-day world with the potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are of current academic interest due to the rise in energy demand globally with growing economies and exorbitant oil prices in recent years. Development of cost-effective technology and use of indigenous sources should be considered for sustainable biofuel production. Extraction techniques are the key technology in the biofuel production process and extensive research is being conducted globally. In this chapter, the global aspects of extraction of biofuels and the effectiveness of biofuels in meeting the environmental objectives are discussed.
