Abstract

Biofuel can be a potential supplement to fossil fuel and help in meeting increasing energy demand of the USA as well as rest of the world. However, it is important for the biofuel to be economically competitive and energy efficient to be established as a promising energy source. There has always been an argument about energy efficiency of biofuel production. Some studies have claimed that it requires more energy to produce ethanol then it actually produces as an output.
