Biodiesel is one of the most promising alternative liquid energy carriers for use in the transport sector. Biodiesel can be produced from edible or nonedible feedstock by different processes. The ASTM D6751 and EN 14214 standards are used to evaluate biodiesel quality. Despite a vast number of research works and projects conducted on different aspects of biodiesel production and consumption, there are still important challenges to be addressed by future investigations. Past experiments have shown that biodiesel is feasible as a successful alternative fuel for the transport sector. This chapter the main areas that should be covered by future investigation: (1) sustainable production of biodiesel feedstocks to achieve a transition from first-generation biodiesel (produced from edible resources) to higher-generation biodiesels (nonedible resources, including nonedible energy crops and waste oils/fats); (2) improving the analytical techniques used for determining the physicochemical properties of biodiesel; (3) upgrading and improving the fuel properties of biodiesel using various economically and environmentally viable fuel additives; (4) conducting more sophisticated and in-depth engine analysis, including engine endurance test for new biodiesel formulations, and (5) thorough analyses of various stages of biodiesel production and consumption using advanced sustainability assessment techniques, including techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment analysis, emergy, exergy, and the combination of these methods.
