Abstract

Road transport is accountable for considerable emissions in the atmosphere in the form of carbon content, nitrogen, sulphur and other particulate matter. The average annual concentration of suspended particulate matter is very high in the Indian cities reaching the threshold of the prescribed critical levels set by the WHO. It has been observed that environmental pollution control policies have minimum impact on the CO2 emission(1) This review contributes a reassessment of carbon gas emissions in Indian cities and centered on the government policy on biofuel which shows lack of scientific knowledge and awareness in the implementing agencies. We have suggested the fuel adaptability measures like the use of bio-fuels and bioconversion of carbon to biofuel and other byproducts. Still India desired to explore the growth and awareness in the field of Biofuel Mission to overcome the technological barriers.
