A Review on Biodiesel Production from Various Feedstocks by Transesterification

Since fossil fuel emissions will continue indefinitely, we must find a suitable and long-term alternative, owing to the fact that it is biodegradable, non-toxic, eco-friendly, biodiesel an excellent substitute for diesel engines. EASAC classifies evolution of into four generations. Biodiesel feedstocks their advantages disadvantages different generations are thoroughly analysed in this article. An in-depth investigation provided article, benefits drawbacks various used manufacturing process biodiesel. In terms production biodiesel, transesterification best method because produces high-yield with comparable properties diesel, making ideal choice. As far as economics concerned, also viable. It possible meet energy requirements future by blending oil feedstocks. The system cost feedstock have most significant impact on production. Characteristics such oxidation stability, cold flow cetane number, viscosity, density, some important characteristics Biodiesel’s performance engines was discussed paper, suggested safer environment than Petro-diesel. Unlike Petro-diesel, degrades times faster has higher flash point, storage handling easier. It’s nontoxic causes less irritation skin soap water. paper looked at using from first through fourth generation.
