Abstract

Biofuels have garnered significant attention as a potential solution to mitigate climate change by offering renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. This article examines the opportunities and obstacles associated with biofuels in the context of the global energy transition. Biofuels, derived from organic materials such as crops and agricultural residues, present a promising avenue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. However, their widespread adoption faces challenges including feedstock availability, competition with food production, and economic viability. This abstract explores the role of biofuels in diversifying energy sources, enhancing energy security, and fostering rural development. It also discusses the need for supportive policies, technological advancements, and international cooperation to overcome barriers and maximize the environmental and socio-economic benefits of biofuels. As the world seeks sustainable energy solutions, understanding and addressing these opportunities and obstacles will be crucial in shaping effective strategies for the future.
