Abstract

Natural resources are scarce and there is a need to explore new resources to meet the rising demand for energy. There is also a need to meet sustainable development goals through proper planning and strategy. Fossil fuel has a finite supply and there will be a huge gap between demand and supply due to rising demand. There is a need to develop biofuel to replace fossil fuel. This paper gives a discussion about current issues and future directions in these sectors.
