The Role of Advanced Biofuels in Promoting Energy Access and Economic Growth in Rural Areas

M. S. Khan, Akram A. Khan · 2025 · Asian Journal of Agricultural Extension Economics & Sociology

Summary. Advanced biofuels from agricultural residues, algae, and waste can reduce energy poverty and create economic growth in rural developing countries. Case studies from India and Brazil show that decentralized biofuel plants improved energy access, generated local jobs, and strengthened agricultural value chains by converting crop residues into farmer income. Key barriers include limited infrastructure, financing, and policy support. The authors recommend scaling adoption to enhance energy security and rural development.
