Abstract

Scope of biofuel certification is reviewed. It has been found that a biofuel certification is needed in the biofuels industry to authenticate biodiesel and its blends for use in diesel engines.In the world, a standard energy audit method is required to evaluate the feasibility of biodiesel blend as fuel and also harmonise the research of biodiesel as fuel. Leagal measures for biofuel certification is required. There are various obstacles and challenges for biofuel  certification. Therefore, this paper addresses the legal measures, obstacles and challenges for biofuel certification.

Keywords
biofuel certification, leagal measures, obstacles and challenges
