Abstrakt: Concerns about the environmental effect of anthropocentric greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of global crude oil reserves are driving global initiatives to discover renewable energy sources for the transportation sector. Biodiesel derived from renewable sources (vegetable oil and animal fats) has been widely accepted as an adequate substitute for petroleum-based diesel fuel in daily transport vehicles around the world because it is a renewable fuel, biodegradable, non-toxic, has almost no sulphur content, and is an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel fuel. Vegetable oils are now being investigated as input feedstocks for bio-kerosene via hydrotreating and transesterification processes. However, hydrotreatmentsseemcostly and unpleasant practice. Transesterification appears to be a more cost-effective option.Researchers in the letriture have not paid much attention to the combination of bio-kerosen and biodiesel fuel generation so far. Therefore the present study examined several biodiesel production systems, including an overview of the employed feedstocks and recent improvements in their related catalytic facilities. The current study is a good tool for novices to learn biodiesel and the limits related to its manufacturing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
