Abstract
A worldwide environmental awareness about global warming contributed by combustion of fossil fuels as well as concern over dwindling fossil fuel deposits. This has led to the need for sustainable biofuels production to satisfy the demands of the world’s rapidly growing population. Special attention has been given to deoxygenation (DO), the key technology for biofuels development; it is compatible with combustion engines due to the excellent thermal and chemical stability. In this chapter, the DO (hydrodeoxygenation, decarboxylation, and decarbonylation) of triglycerides or their derivatives are discussed. The basic concept of chemistry and reaction pathways related to the DO are also addressed in detail. The most readily implemented solutions and recent research developments are summarized and discussed to meet future societal demands.
