Abstract

In the past few years, biofuel demand has been increasing due to limited crude oil reserves, which are predicted to deplete in the next 40 years. Moreover, because of the restricted development of arable land, the rapid growth of human population, improvement of economic status, deforestation, water shortages, environmental degradation, and global warming, there will be increasing pressure on existing forest lands. Due to the diminishing rate of fossil fuels and their higher emissions capacity, the demand for alternative or conventional fuels increases and biofuel is one alternative resource. Biofuels can be obtained or generated from biomass or biological material collected from living material or living resources. Biofuels include a wide range of fuels that can be extracted from renewable bioresources. The biofuel industries have gained increased development since the 1970s due to the shortage of sustainable energy resources (biofuel).
