Abstract

The use of a clean fuel such as biodiesel has both environmental and economic advantages. The environmental advantage is reduced emissions, whereas the economic benefit stems from local availability of raw material and improved energy security. Currently most of biodiesel production comes from edible sources such as soybean, palm and sunflower oils. However due to price fluctuations, land limitation, contrary to the current social movement and energy policies, their industrial expansion has been limited (Wendy et al. in Energy 55:82–88, 2013, [1]).
