The quest for safe, secure and sustainable energy has posed one of the most critical challenges of this age. Nigeria is blessed with vast biomass resources, yet lacks the wherewithal to harness and develop a sustainable energy framework, this review highlights the complexity of biofuels which is a direct product of biomass and the sheer diversity of options already available, hence advocating biofuel as an option to solve the current energy crisis if it is economically, socially and technologically sustained and the public acceptability is maximized.
