Abstract This review explores the potential of green synthesised SBA-15 nanomaterials in biodiesel production, focusing on their promising application despite their lack of direct use in this field. The growing global demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources has intensified interest in biodiesel as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Biodiesel, derived from renewable biomass sources such as agricultural residues and waste cooking oils, offers significant environmental benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional SBA-15 synthesis involves hazardous chemicals, but green synthesis methods using biomass-derived silica present an eco-friendly approach. This review examines the unique structural properties of SBA-15, such as its high surface area and uniform pore structure, which could improve biodiesel production when used as a catalyst. While the green-synthesised SBA-15 has not yet been applied directly in biodiesel production, this article proposes its potential utility and emphasises the need for future research to validate its effectiveness. This novel approach of directly using SBA-15 as a catalyst emphasises its potential to improve biodiesel production sustainability and efficiency, contributing to waste management and renewable energy goals. These findings underscore the scientific value of SBA-15 in the advancement of biofuel technology and highlight its potential for industrial applications. |
