BIOFUELdb : Database of Biofuels

"Biofuels are the solid, liquid or gas fuels which are derived from non-fossil biomass. They are renewable, environment friendly and can be obtained from easily available biomass."

Need of Biofuels and Utility of this database

The biofuels are the need of the future as they can be used as an alternative for the currently used fuels Currently used fuels are obtained from the sourecof ancient deposits. These ancient deposits are going to end in the near future These fuels are also found to cause a irreplacable loss to the environmnent.The biofuels are obtained from biomass which are renewabla and environment-friendly. BIOFUELdb is a novel database which provides information about the organsims having potency to convert biomass into a desired fuel and biomass that can be degraded into a chemical which can be used as a fuel. This database helps in research, education and in commercial purpose. This database serves all the essential information regarding the research being carried out in the field of fuel production from the biomass. This database enlightens the researcher about the different modifications being carried out in the process of biofuel production to increase the efficiency of production. This information helps the researcher the exposure to the broader vision and also helps us to generate new idea for increasing the efficiency of the process. Database also includes the information of the genetic engineered organisms used for the prouction and its effect on the production yield. This knowldge helps us to select the appropriate organism with the modifications and to decide which organism to prefer over another. The choice can be over a different organism or the same organism with modificatins. The genetically engineered organism is selected over wild type only if the modifications causes a noticeable change in the product.
