Abstract:

An upsurge in industrialization and the human population has led to increasing energy demands most met by fossil-oriented energy carriers, resulting in the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The environmental and public health damages caused by these emissions have triggered a global transition toward replacing fossil fuels with their renewable and green counterparts. Biodiesel is a promising alternative to fossil diesel and can be used in existing diesel engines with no or minor modifications. Transesterification is the most commonly used process among the various techniques used for biodiesel production. The worldwide boost in biodiesel production has led to the establishment of various methods used in a real-world setting to increase biodiesel yield and transesterification efficiency. This introductory chapter explains the fundamentals of industrial biodiesel production, including statistics, approaches, and costs. Despite improvements over the years, the biodiesel production industry still needs further improvements and advances to enhance the production process and meet increasing global demands.
