World Biofuel Day 2023

World Biofuel Day is observed every year on August 10 to spread awareness about the importance of non-fossil fuels as an alternative for humanity. The day also attempts to highlight the government’s efforts to encourage the biofuel sector.

Biofuels are environment-friendly fuels that can be produced using biological materials like agricultural waste, trees, crops or even grass. Biofuels can be produced in a very short time and stored in either liquid or gaseous form. In contrast to fossil fuels, biofuels are renewable, sustainable and biodegradable in nature.
World Biofuel Day is marked every year on August 10. The day honours Rudolf Diesel, the individual who invented the diesel engine. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has been celebrating the day since 2015 with a theme. However, because of no official declaration of the theme yet, World Biofuel Day will be commended on the 2022 theme, 'Biofuels for Sustainability and Rural Income.
