Some examples of biofuels are bioethanol, biodiesel, biofuel gasoline, etc. This book aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in the field of bioenergy. As this field is emerging at a fast pace, this book will help the readers to better understand the concepts of biomass and biofuels. This book will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this domain.
