“…It is worth noting that the study found high molecular weight (270 to 300 m/z) of the mass spectra of methyl ester detected in biodiesel in the absence of a SoapAction, and this is in agreement with what was reported by [47]: that a greater portion of fatty acid of high molecular weight is present when a saponification value is low. A significant saturated methyl ester has been detected in biodiesel (methyl palmitate), which shows significant fragments and appears at m/z = 57 as the base peak (100%), which results from the breakage of the C12-C13 bond to give [CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 ].…”

Currently, there exists a significant need for alternate sources of petroleum fuel due to escalating environmental challenges and diminishing global oil reserves. Biodiesel, an environmentally friendly and sustainable fuel, is one of the most adaptable alternatives to petroleum fuel. This study’s goals were to get biodiesel from three oils (olive, palm, and jojoba) and see how well lipases work as biocatalysts for the esterification process. The production of biodiesel was obtained from two fungal strains, Aspergillus niger MH079049.1 and A. niger MH078571.1, and four distinct fatty acids and four organic solvents were used. The study determined the optimal reaction conditions to be a reaction time of 24 h, an enzyme concentration of 3 mL, and an oil-to-methanol ratio of 3:1. This study showed that lipase works well in making biodiesel, with an impressive esterification yield of 99%, and the highest level of productivity was attained when olive oil and jojoba oils were subjected to an incubation time of 18 h and 22 h, respectively, in the presence of palm oil.

“…Biodiesel is usually produced from renewable feedstocks, such as vegetable oils, animal fats, greases, waste cooking oils, algae oils, oleaginous microorganisms, etc. [12][13][14][15]. Some of the important feedstocks commonly used for the production of biodiesel are shown in Figure 1.…”

“…Biodiesel is considered as eco-friendly unlike petroleum-derived fuels because of lower sulfur and aromatic compounds contents [15]. Moreover, this biofuel is oxygenated, non-toxic, less polluted and biodegradable, and moreover, its use in engines does not require any adaptation [14]. The increase in population leads to a tremendous increase in energy demand and consequently, competition for agricultural lands and crops since the first-generation biodiesel uses edible oils [12].…”

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.

“…The difference between biodiesel and diesel is mainly in their composition. Biodiesel consists of methyl esters of vegetable fatty acids [18], [19], while diesel is a hydrocarbon [20], [21]. Biodiesel can be used pure or mixed and its use is specifically for diesel engines.…”

The energy sources used today are non-renewable energy. Non-renewable energy, if used continuously will experience scarcity. Therefore, renewable energy sources are needed as an alternative energy. One of alternative energy source is biodiesel. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel produced from vegetable or animal raw materials. The sustainability and diversity of biodiesel feedstock sources make it an attractive option for reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The problem is that all existing natural resources have not been utilized, the potential availability of raw materials and their production, lack of knowledge about the types of biodiesel and other types of biodiesel that can be developed. This article aims to review the different types of biodiesel that are being researched and developed and increasing knowledge and becoming a reference regarding the potential of natural resources and the opportunity to develop other types based on the potential of available natural resources. The research method used is a literature review study using the Publish or Perish 8 application, on the search menu Google Scholar is selected. Article search retrieved September 19, 2023. Based on this search, 14 articles were obtained that were in accordance with this research. The research results showed that the various types of biodiesel are bintaro oil, hazelnut oil, corn oil, crude palm oil, hydrotreated vegetable oil, kapok seed oil, rubber seed oil, used cooking oil, kesambi oil and graphene nanoplatelets. Each type of biodiesel has its own advantages, while the biodiesel feedstock that has the potential to be produced in large quantities is palm oil. This research also suggests that Indonesia's natural resource potential is very large, so we can also process and develop other types of biodiesel which can be used as alternative fuel.
