Biodiesel Production Techniques and Merits: An Overview
Biodiesel is gaining popularity due to its environmental benefits and renewable nature. Biomass has the potential to replace fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it might as well make a significant contribution to reducing the greenhouse effect. It has, nevertheless, some setbacks including its demanding land and water use, the risk of losing arable lands to it and the impact of cutting and processing biofuel products. This study therefore reviews the production techniques and merits associated with biodiesel. This review projects the production and use of high-quality biodiesel, thereby paving the way for a more sustainable transportation future with reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
