Biofuel Generations are classified into first, second, third and fourth generations that are characterised by the sources of biomass, limitations as a renewable source of energy, and technological progress. The First Generation Biofuel comes from a food source biomass. The Second Generation Biofuel comes from non-food biomass. The Third Generation Biofuel is an alternative fuel that is produced from algal biomass. The Fourth Generation Biofuel uses genetically modified algae to enhance biofuel production.
