Future biofuel potential and scope for lipid based biodiesel

Biodiesel is the fastest growing biofuel but from a lower base than ethanol. As Biodiesel production depends on oil based feedstock and land availability even more than bioethanol production. Current cost of production is major issue with considering; current production would cause massive deforestation and higher food prices. Our advanced conceptual processes can hold the potential to increase Biodiesel production, as it can use any second generation feedstock with high energy extraction. The current focus need to be on application of developed technology to utilize cheap biomass and biowaste as feedstock to produce cost effective biodiesel, thus competing economically with petroleum resources. Wide use of biodiesel in India is going to be a reality in the days to come.
