A Review on Biodiesel Production

Jiten Yadav, Omprakash Sahu

Abstract


Energy is the most important component to derive the nation. Among them, the oil sector has a major
contribution in economic flocculation. Since with economical growth, pollution level also increases
with same rate. Some alternative options have been recommended to minimise the contamination,
among them biodiesel. Biodiesel is considered as a green fuel and capable of reducing greenhouse
gasses. The aim review is to recapitulate all about the biodiesel feedstocks, types of catalyst employed;
process parameters and future development are around the world.
