condition for biodiesel production were addressed.
Chapter 12 proposes the green concept for biodiesel production using catalysts derived from renewable resources. Essential information on their preparation methods, physicochemical properties, and catalytic activities as well as the challenges are discussed.
Chapter 13 exploits the usage of the promising ionic liquid catalyst to replace homogeneously catalyzed biodiesel production concurrently with techno‐economic analysis, life cycle assessment, environmental impact assessment, and scale‐up technologies.
Chapter 14 demonstrates the effective acid/base metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) catalysts for both transesterification and esterification reactions to intensify biodiesel production based on their catalytic synergy.
The strategies in terms of upstream, mainstream, and downstream process to fulfill the economical and sustainable for biodiesel production will be addressed in Chapters 15–21.
Chapter 15 scrutinizes the strategies for upstream biodiesel production dealing with the advanced feedstocks like waste cooking oil, waste animal fats, nonedible oils, or genetically engineered oils based on the appropriate catalyst, reaction conditions, and the following downstream processes.
Chapter 16 approaches the operating key parameters of mainstream strategies in terms of the novel reactor for biodiesel production based on the scientific and practical viewpoints to achieve efficiency and sustainable concept.
Chapter 17 discloses the downstream strategies to accomplish biodiesel standard as well as operating cost reduction using methanol recovery and glycerol by‐product refining. The integration of bioenergy systems to produce antioxidant additives for improving biodiesel quality is also encouraged.
Chapter 18 addresses the conversion of bio‐glycerol to value‐added chemicals especially acrylic acid to boost alternative sustainable routes for biodiesel production.
Chapter 19 introduces the sustainability in the production and use of biodiesel, which is mainly dependent on the types of feedstocks and government policy as the incentives of using biodiesel.
Chapter 20 discusses the advanced, sustainable technology with respect to the diversified feedstock and design of the novel efficient catalytic system for production of biodiesel and its commercialization.
