Abstract

Among the current cited biofuels, biodiesel production using vegetable oils as raw materials exhibits technical, social and economic advantages. Some crops exhibit untapped potential as source-alternatives for satisfying the increasing energy demand; therefore, it is important to study the feasible reaction routes to transform triglycerides, mainly, into biodiesel. Mexico has been taken into account as case of study, in order to estimate the potential utility and economic impact of vegetable oils in its development. It is noticed that about 90% of the Mexican territory exhibits favorable climatic characteristics to crops able to produce vegetable oils useful in biodiesel production
