“…Table 8 briefly summarizes the role of nanocatalysts and the importance of optimization of parameters in enhancing the yield of biodiesel. Other parameters like co-solvent, reactor mixing speed, and type of reactor also show considerable effects on commercialization and large scale production of biodiesel (Chozhavendhan et al, 2020).…”

“…Fatty acids methyl esters FAME composition includes saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, palmitic acid, myristic acid, and oleic acid. These methyl esters composition primarily govern the parameters like density, viscosity, cetane number and acid value which eventually affect the quality and quantity of biodiesel (Chozhavendhan et al, 2020).…”

Necessity and exploitation of fossil fuel products are implacable in serving the needs of humanity despite being a finite and limited resource. To meet the thrust of energy, biofuels derived from varieties of renewable resources are imperative in fulfilling the demand of renewable fuels on a large scale without creating environmental concerns. Biofuels are inevitably the result of the carbon fixation process which stores chemical energy, ultimately reducing the total amount of carbon dioxide. Different kinds of biofuels like bioethanol, biomethanol, biogas, and biodiesel are derived depending on varieties of feedstock materials. Among these, production of biodiesel augments the progression of clean and renewable fuel. In this review, we have discussed the production of biodiesel derived from various feedstock and using several processes like pyrolysis, direct blending, micro-emulsion, and trans-esterification, with critical discussion focussing on increasing biodiesel production using nanocatalysts. Biodiesel production mainly proceeds through homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis via trans-esterification method. The review further discusses the significance of nanocatalyst in heterogeneous catalysis based trans-esterification for large scale biodiesel production. With the advent of nanotechnology, designing and modification of nanocatalyst gives rise to attractive properties such as increased surface area, high thermal stability, and enhanced catalytic activity. The role of nanocatalysts have been extensively studied and investigated in regard to the increased biodiesel production. Along with the modification of nanocatalysts, we have briefly discussed the physico-chemical properties and the role of the optimization parameters as it plays a pivotal role in enhancing the biodiesel production commercially.

Motor biofuel is one kind of clean and sustainable fuel extracted from living organisms or obtained by the transformation of organisms, which can be used to replace fossil fuels. Nowadays, motor biofuel is an important direction for the development and utilization of renewable energy. More attention has been given to the development and promotion of motor biofuel and relative technologies all over the world. This research introduced the history of motor biofuel, the classification of motor biofuel as well as the strategies and policies made domestically and internationally in order to promote the development of motor biofuel, and also pointed out some of the urgent problems faced during the development of motor biofuels and put forward some suggestions for the future development of motor biofuel in China.
