Abstract:

The depletion of natural resources, fast growing vehicle density and increased pollutant emission in the environment have alarmed a great. Rapid exploitation of the natural resources led to the high price rise of the petroleum fuels. These fuels also add major environmental pollutant CO2, which is a greenhouse gases also. The stringent rules and environmental regulation led the researchers to think about alternative resources of the transportation and industrial fuels. Looking at huge demand of diesel fuel for transportation sector, captive power generation and agricultural sector, the second-generation fuels are being viewed a substitute of diesel fuel. The present review paper focuses on the available resources of alternative fuels, their production, social and environmental impacts, research gap.
