Biofuel production can be carried out using advanced technology of catalytic cracking and separation of products by chromatography. COnventional methods of enhanced fermentation rates or calrification of viscous oils that are obtained from the seeds of plants such as jathropa can be replaced with application of modern catalytic reaction engineering.

Biofuels can be obtained as assesed and expected for a particular requirement by reacting feed in a specially designed reactors that utilize fluid energy of feed and thus enhancing the probability of intra molecular confrontation and thus resulting to extreme reaction conditions which inturn enhances the rate of production of biofuel.
