The inadequate sources of energy coupled with the increasing demands of power have necessitated the search for novel renewable energy resources. Phumdis are one such promising alternative. Phumdis are floating mats of heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil and organic matter found in Loktak Lake in Manipur, North Eastern India. This paper delineates the use of Phumdis as an alternative energy source. Phumdis from Loktak Lake, Manipur were processed and analyzed for their biofuel capabilities. The Results indicate that the phumdis have high calorific content, cloudpoint and flash point indicating that they are at par with other fuels.
