Abstract

In India the demand of petroleum products has significantly increased during the last two decades due to rapid expansion in transport, industrial and agricultural sector. Plants provide source of renewable energy. A number of plants belonging to families Euphorbiaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Apocynaceae, Convolvulaceae etc. posses hydrocarbons. These triterpenoids are hexane extractable and can be converted into biofuel using hydro in their saps and latex. They contain hydrocarbons, which have over 30% of tri-terpenoids cracking. Screening of various biofuel plants was carried out
