- Statement (II) is INCORRECT: 2nd Generation Biofuels are derived from non-food lignocellulosic biomass (agricultural residues like rice straw, wheat straw, bagasse, and dedicated woody energy crops like Jatropha or Miscanthus). Biofuels derived specifically from microalgae and cyanobacteria constitute 3rd Generation Biofuels.
