Abstract
Due to its eco-friendly and renewable characteristics, biodiesel has become a
promising alternative to energy sources. However, the issue associated with traditional
biodiesel production is the expensive production cost on the industrial scale, which is
primarily caused by raw materials. Thus, the catalyst plays a crucial role with the
objective to speed up the overall biodiesel production rate and lower the production
cost. Recently, numerous studies on different kinds of catalysts used in the production
of biodiesel have been carried out. Therefore, this chapter offers a detailed overview of
biodiesel production by analyzing the latest trends that utilize biomass waste-derived
catalysts.
Keywords: Biomass-derived catalyst, Biodiesel, Renewable energy, Transesterification.
