In the era of increasing energy insecurity the first confront that we face is to move away from fossil fuels subsequently to build a new energy economy based on renewable source. Fossil fuels are not sustainable so the key issue for attaining sustainability is bio-based economy which can be achieved through biomass. Potential biomass feedstock includes conventional crops, forestry products, agricultural residue, waste material and specially cultivated energy-crops. An effort to identify higher plants from Jalandhar which may be useful as alternative source of fuel as energy-crop belonging to family Apocynaceae, Asclepideaceae, Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Convolvulaceae, Fabaceae, Papaveraceae are analysed for their yield of petroleum-based products.
