Abstract
The glycerol has been identified as a main platform product in biorefineries and its use as a renewable raw material has gained the great attention of the scientific community. Thanks to its unique structure, bioavailability, properties and renewability, scientists consider glycerol as a non-toxic bio-sourced building block for chemical transformations into higher added-value substances, meeting the objectives of minimizing the environmental impact and economic risk and giving a value to the production of biodiesel. In this chapter, we highlighted the important progress by summarizing; the representative achievements for the different promising reactions focusing on glycerol valorization and reactional mechanisms proposed for some processes.
