  • How can biodiesel production be sustainable?
  • One of the most expensive and energy-intensive processes in biodiesel production is oil extraction from the feedstock. To attain a sustainable supply of oil, physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods have been tested to maximize oil extraction. In this section, a few of the most advanced technologies developed in recent times will be discussed.
  • Can biodiesel be a profitable fuel?
  • Hence, microalgae and other non-edible oils such as Jatropha, neem oil, castor oil, and tall oil are now being used as alternatives in the production of biodiesel . Aside from the many benefits of this clean-burning fuel, there are several technological challenges to overcome in order to make biofuel a profitable fuel.
  • Can biodiesel be used to power an internal combustion engine?
  • Biodiesel can be harvested from renewable biological materials such as waste cooking oils , vegetable seed oils , animal fats , and micro-algal oil . The first attempt at powering an internal combustion engine using bio-diesel was reported in the early 19th century .
  • How long does it take to make biodiesel?
  • Purified oils containing less than 0.5% of FFA oil are catalyzed by base catalysts to produce high-quality biodiesel with a high yield within 30¨C60 min [ 74 ].
  • Where does biodiesel come from?
  • Biodiesel is obtained from biological sources such as edible and non-edible oils, animal fats, and waste cooking oils. Today, several countries have regulations and policies that promote alternative fuels such as biodiesel through both incentives and quantitative binding requirements.
  • Why is the production of biodiesel limited?
  • The industrial-scale production of biodiesel is limited mainly because of the high price of feedstock; however, the other most important factor affecting large-scale biodiesel production is the consistent standard of high-quality biodiesel, which requires an immaculate purification process of biodiesel produced.
