“…Considering this, several studies have been conducted over the years to assess the emission reduction potential of replacing conventional fuels with biofuel. Of particular interest, more recent studies have paid keen attention to nanocatalysts as additives for improving the cleaner combustion of both pure fossil fuels and their blends with biofuels for limiting the production of greenhouse gasses [ 234 , 235 , 236 , 237 , 238 , 239 , 240 , 241 , 242 , 243 , 244 , 245 , 246 , 247 ]. Despite the significant contributions to the existing literature on biofuels and nanocatalysts, there is a considerable research gap regarding this field’s evolutionary trends, research hotspots, and characteristics.…”

Among the most relevant themes of modernity, using renewable resources to produce biofuels attracts several countries’ attention, constituting a vital part of the global geopolitical chessboard since humanity’s energy needs will grow faster and faster. Fortunately, advances in personal computing associated with free and open-source software production facilitate this work of prospecting and understanding complex scenarios. Thus, for the development of this work, the keywords “biofuel” and “nanocatalyst” were delivered to the Scopus database, which returned 1071 scientific articles. The titles and abstracts of these papers were saved in Research Information Systems (RIS) format and submitted to automatic analysis via the Visualization of Similarities Method implemented in VOSviewer 1.6.18 software. Then, the data extracted from the VOSviewer were processed by software written in Python, which allowed the use of the network data generated by the Visualization of Similarities Method. Thus, it was possible to establish the relationships for the pair between the nodes of all clusters classified by Link Strength Between Items or Terms (LSBI) or by year. Indeed, other associations should arouse particular interest in the readers. However, here, the option was for a numerical criterion. However, all data are freely available, and stakeholders can infer other specific connections directly. Therefore, this innovative approach allowed inferring that the most recent pairs of terms associate the need to produce biofuels from microorganisms’ oils besides cerium oxide nanoparticles to improve the performance of fuel mixtures by reducing the emission of hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

“…Although some good review works concentrated on biodiesel synthesis using MOF-based catalysts have been reported, 57–59 however, the research on specializing MOF-based catalysts for biodiesel production is still insufficient. Specifically, in Fang's work, 57 Basumatary's work, 58 and Li's work, 59 although MOF-based catalyst applications to produce biodiesel were basically described, long or short. The slightly less restrictive aspect is that they ignored the interesting kinds of MOF-based catalysts ( i.e.…”

“…Biodiesel is one of the most important biofuels and an alternative energy source because it possesses similar properties to conventional fossil fuels, such as high flash point, high cetane number, good lubricity, non-toxicity, is a low sulfur contaminant, etc [14][15][16]. Biodiesel is a mono alkyl ester of long-chain fatty acids produced from a range of feedstocks that includes vegetable oils and waste animal fat [17,18]. Generally, the production cost of biodiesel is determined by the feedstock used.…”

State-of-the-art catalysts for clean fuel (methyl esters) production—a comprehensive review

There has been growing and recent interest in using non-edible feedstocks such as waste animal fats as alternate to vegetable oils in biodiesel production to address food vs fuel debate. The waste animal fats are cost effective and yield the biodiesel of good quality. Therefore, waste animal fats are appealing and excellent feedstocks to produce biodiesel. Commercially, the biodiesel is obtained by transesterification reaction of triglycerides present in oil/fat with alcohol in presence of homogeneous base catalysts. However, free fatty acids found in low-quality oil feedstocks are particularly sensitive to homogeneous base catalysts, necessitating extra acid pretreatment and neutralization procedures that not only raise the overall expense of producing biodiesel but also create environmental contamination. Optimistically, the use of solid catalysts can offer an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and practical route for the manufacture of biodiesel from inexpensive oil feedstocks, including waste animal fat. The present review article covers catalyzed transesterification/esterification using various catalysts with particular focus on use of heterogeneous catalysts when using waste animal fat as feedstock for biodiesel production. Particularly, the properties of biodiesel obtained from waste animal fats are also compared to biodiesel properties of standard organizations such as European Committee of Standardization and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Moreover, this paper also offers future research directions that can direct researchers to fill in knowledge gaps impeding the creation of efficient heterogeneous catalysts for long-term biodiesel generation. To the best of our knowledge, the valorization of waste animal fats from slaughterhouse is not feasible and have some techno-economic concerns. However, this technology is more desirable considering environmental point of view to address the pollution problems caused by these wastes.
