Abstract
High-quality alternative diesel derived from renewable resources for smooth combustion in compression ignition engines is a perpetual pursuit of researchers to transition from conventional to renewable fuels. This review focuses on the major domains in the production of renewable diesel using a variety of cutting-edge techniques and technologies, including transesterification, hydrogenation, deoxygenation, Fischer–Tropsch process, catalytic hydrotreatment and blending. The availability and quality of renewable diesel feedstocks for usage consideration before processing in accordance with the mentioned techniques are also covered in this chapter. The physiochemical analysis and biofuel composition in each processing method demonstrate that renewable diesel is essentially a frontier fuel geared towards the future with comparable quality. In fact, some of the properties of renewable diesel (such as cetane number and flash point) are superior to petroleum-based fuels.
