Biofuel (bioethanol, biodiesel, biogas, etc.) is produced from renewable biological resources such as plant biomass, animal waste, and treated municipal and industrial waste. Crops used for the production of biofuels are called biofuel crops, for example, maize, rapeseed, canola, and soybeans. In Brazil, ethanol is extracted directly from sugarcane. India is promoting jatropha (Jatropha curcas) plantation for the production of biodiesel. Biodiesel crops should preferably target land that is less favorable for food crop production such as marginal land, salt-affected land, wasteland, etc. to avoid unwarranted competition with food production.
