During the current era of industrialization, urbanization and modernization, globally the world is facing the need for renewable energy as harbinger of economic growth and social development. Moreover, increasing populations and increasing lifestyle demands are exerting adverse effects on nature, incessantly causing ecological pressures. In response to the energy crisis, biofuel has received a lot of attention as a promising source of renewable energy due to its non-toxicity, biodegradability, sustainability, which provide opportunities for reducing ecological footprint in various different ways. Due to its carbon–neutral feature, it acts as a potential substitute for fossil fuels by curtailing greenhouse gas (GHG) discharge playing a pivotal role in addressing climate change related issues. Biofuel production can ensure the sustainability of rural development by imparting income-generating opportunities and better living conditions. Ultimately, biofuel plays an important role in providing lasting solutions to the energy needs without jeopardizing the environment, catering to sustainable energy needs of the world. This chapter aims to focus on the critical contributions of biofuel to global economy, with simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint for a sustainable development needs of mankind in an eco friendly manner.
