Abstract
Biodiesel is a well-known biofuel which is intended to partially replace fossil diesel in transportation and industrial applications. It can be obtained from a variety of triglyceride-containing sources, where the quality and price of biodiesel will strongly depend on the kind of raw material used for its production. This chapter reviews various aspects involved in the production and use of biodiesel, including raw materials with potential to produce the biofuel, conventional technologies used in the production processes, techno-economic information about biodiesel production, and an insight on the industrial implementation of the conventional technologies. Information is presented about the advantages of using biodiesel in engines. Finally, a case study on the design and economic assessment of a biodiesel production process is presented.
