Air quality (AQ) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission management are the key drivers related to sustainability goal around the world today because most of the aforementioned issues are attributable to fossil fuels burning. Biofuels are the clean, alternative fuels that are derived from biomass-based resources. It addresses efficient management of air pollution problems and the collective goal of climate change mitigation. Recent times have witnessed accelerated growth in biofuel production worldwide. The Government of India has been very keen on promoting manufacture and blending of ethanol derived from sugarcane molasses, and biodiesel from non-edible and waste oils for mixing with diesel. India’s biofuel policy (2003), dealing with bio-ethanol and biodiesel, sights to channelize biofuels into the energy and transport sector to address energy security and improvement in the living standard of rural areas. Biofuels as an alternative energy source can help to lessen the dependency on imported fossil fuel oil, achieve sustainability goal and several other societal requirements.
