Abstract
Increasing population, economy and rapid urbanization have accelerated in the use of bioenergy. The conditions and factors surrounding the expectation and realities of non-edible oils for biodiesel are necessitating efforts to diversify feedstock. Modern technology for bioenergy can be used as biofuel for transport as well as biomass for heat and electricity production. Currently, biodiesel can be produced from edible plant oils such as soybean, rapeseed, palm and sunflower. In this study, we aim at the importance of using biodiesel as a renewable energy.

Bioenergy can be gotten from organic matter, industrial, commercial or agricultural products
Carbon dioxide is released and its energy is classified as carbon-neutral known as bioenergy
Summary
1.1 Overview of bio energy Bioenergy is one of the renewable energies. It’s contained in living or biological organisms. Bio-energy covers two aspects biofuel and biomass, Biofuel is the process where plants material is being transformed into liquid fuel while biomass is burning of plants material to create energy for use. Biomass releases heat and carbon dioxide during the burning process that is absorbed while the plant is growing This energy can act as a form of renewable energy used directly for heating or cooking and indirectly by converting into liquid or gaseous fuel. Biodiesel Biodiesel is an oxygenated, non- toxic, sulfur-free, biodegradable, and eco-friendly It is a renewable resource and may be used as animal fats, vegetable fats, used for cooking and transportation fuel because its fuel have mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids meeting a standard requirements (ASTM OR European standards). Biodiesel can be used as a fuel instead of using petroleum diesel
