Abstract

The world which we are momentarily breathing in is wavering every single day. At this point, we are subjected to rapid urbanization and because of it, there is always a need for energy as the augmentation of our realm and its prosperity hinges on the growth of energy. Thus, to encompass the energy which remains almost always insatiate to us, we depend on various fossil fuels to meet the energy demands to support our economic and social growth in the time of global precariousness exchange. Though we have used fossil fuels to allocate the energy around the globe as its requirement is increasing, it is becoming a rather daunting task for us to even have a quality life. Therefore, it is time now to look for alternate sources of energy which could replace fossil fuels that too at a decent price and lasts us for a longer period. A viable answer to our misery can be biodiesel. This fuel can be fabricated even utilizing waste frying oils by incorporating a varied variety of catalysts to accelerate the production of propellant. Also, various researches aid that it is capable to alleviate various greenhouse gases which are primarily present in our globe's environment. This review focuses on the work of various researchers who toiled over biodiesel manufacture via transesterification. Based on different doings, using heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of biofuel can be a better way as it is environmentally friendly. Moreover, this benign need no washing from water and separation of product from the catalyst is rather simpler. This current paper is a survey of the advances made in the growth and progression of heterogeneous catalysts which can be befitting for the manufacture of biodiesel.
