World Biofuel Day is observed every year on 10th of August.
It is being observed by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas since 2015.
The purpose of the observance is to create awareness about the importance of non-fossil fuels as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels and highlight the various efforts made by India in the biofuel sector.
This year the theme of the World Biofuel Day is “Production of Biodiesel from Used Cooking Oil (UCO)”.
