Abstract

Worldwide energy usage and carbon emissions resulting from energy generation through the combustion of conventional fossil fuels are expected to keep rising until 2050, with oil still being the key energy source. This has led to the need for sustainable energy sources, which has sparked interest in biofuels as a practical option for reducing carbon emissions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the history of Biofuel in India and its relations to Sustainable Development and the consumer uptake, such as the awareness, perception, and factors important for the adoption of Biofuel in the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) of India, using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire. The study adds to the current literature on consumer behavior and biofuel adoption, particularly in the region of Delhi NCR. The findings can help governments, industry stakeholders, and environmental organizations develop successful strategies for promoting biofuel use, lowering carbon emissions, and creating a more sustainable future.
