“…have been synthesized and utilized for the production of biodiesel [62]. Kumar et al [63] proposed that a typical heterogeneous catalyst usually consists of few nanoparticles dispersed on highly porous material having surface area up to 250 m 2 /g. Some of the important solid nanocatalysts which have been used in biodiesel production are metal oxides (Cao, MgO, Fe 3 O 4 , Ca/Al/Fe 3 O 4 , KF/Al 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , etc.…”

“…Similarly, CaO-based nanocatalysts are also found to be efficient catalysts for the transesterification process of different oil feed stocks for the production of biodiesel [76]. According to Kumar et al [63] there are four forms of CaO nanocatalysts like neat CaO, doped CaO, loaded Cao and waste CaO, all these are commonly used as effective nanocatalysts in synthesis of biodiesel form different oil feed stocks. However, loaded CaO and doped CaO based catalysts are mostly preferred than neat CaO because these rapidly form hydrogen bond with methanol and glycerol.…”

The excessive consumption of petroleum resources leads to global warming, fast depletion of petroleum reserves, as well as price instability of gasoline. Thus, there is a strong need for alternative renewable fuels to replace petroleum-derived fuels. The striking features of an alternative fuel include the low carbon footprints, renewability and affordability at manageable prices. Biodiesel, made from waste oils, animal fats, vegetal oils, is a totally renewable and non-toxic liquid fuel which has gained significant attraction in the world. Due to technological advancements in catalytic chemistry, biodiesel can be produced from a variety of feedstock employing a variety of catalysts and recovery technologies. Recently, several ground-breaking advancements have been made in nano-catalyst technology which showed the symmetrical correlation with cost competitive biodiesel production. Nanocatalysts have unique properties such as their selective reactivity, high activation energy and controlled rate of reaction, easy recovery and recyclability. Here, we present an overview of various feedstock used for biodiesel production, their composition and characteristics. The major focus of this review is to appraise the characterization of nanocatalysts, their effect on biodiesel production and methodologies of biodiesel production.

“…Kumar et al reported four types of calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles, namely, doped CaO, waste CaO, pure CaO and loaded CaO, which are used in transesterification of different kinds of feedstock oils [ 91 ]. Amalgamation of CaO nanoparticles via sol-gel method was done by Bharti et al which was then used for catalysis in transesterification of feedstock oil extracted from soyabeans [ 92 ].…”

“…Biodiesel is produced through the process called transesterification [5]. The reaction occurs between alcohol (methanol) with triglycerides resulting in fatty acid methyl esters and glycerol in presence of a suitable catalyst [3,6]. The raw material requires for the process are mostly fat content and includes vegetable oil, waste cooking oil also and waste animal waste.…”

Currently, the world is facing an immense threat from pollution and global warming. Fossil fuels are limited, and they are considered as non-renewable source of energy. Crude oil reserves are consumed at large scale with respective passing year. If the consumption rate is increased, it may cause ruination and irreplaceable damage to the environment. It now poses a great threat to mankind and to our planet earth. Renewable source of energy is revolutionary in this modern era. Biofuels are one of the most promising alternatives to conventional sources of fuel. Biodiesel is an eco-friendly, non-toxic green fuel that reduces the use of fossil fuel and helps combat climate change. Biodiesel can be produced through transesterification of waste animal fats into fatty acid methyl esters. India is the second largest producer of goat-based meat in the world. Currently, there is so much of waste fat being generated from meat processing plants and dumped in open grounds. It is hazardous waste and causes environmental pollution. The process of converting waste fat to biodiesel will reduce the dumping of waste fat. It can act as a major technique in fighting menace of pollution and helps in better waste management.
