Biodiesel, which could be derived from plant oils and animal fats, is considered as a
promising substitute for petroleum diesel fuel because of its advantages, such as …

Fossil fuel depletion and pollution are calling for alternative, renewable energies such as
biofuels. Actual challenges include the design of efficient processes and catalysts to convert …

Biodiesel is known as one of the best alternative fuels for diesel engines. Low-cost Jatropha
oil is considered a potential non-edible feedstock for biodiesel production in India and many …

Optimization of alkali transesterification of pawpaw seed extract to biodiesel using NaOH
catalyst was carried out to analyze kinetics, thermodynamic parameters, and optimum …

Abstract Development of a renewable substitute for petroleum fuels is needed to address the
current scenario of the rising fuel crisis affecting transportation, growing concerns regarding …

Biodiesel is renewable fuel produced from fats and oils. When compared to conventional
diesel fuel, it has considerable environmental benefits. However, its extensive use is …

Biodiesel has gained a significant attention as a clean alternative to the convention diesel
over the couple of years. However, its production cost is a concerning factor mainly due to …

To produce biodiesel cost-effective, low-cost, high free fatty acid (FFA) oil feedstock is
desirable. But high FFA creates difficulty during the base-catalyzed transesterification …

The esterification of oleic acid with methanol by homogeneous acid catalysis was
investigated, using 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as catalyst. First, the catalytic activity of 4 …

The present review primarily focuses on the perspectives and state-of-the-art of
heterogeneous catalysts, nanocatalysts, biocatalysts, bifunctional catalysts, metal-organic …
