Abstract

The importance of biodiesel production was analysed based on scientific articles and patents. A critical analysis is presented on the most used oil sources, catalysts, and methodology to verify transesterification yields. Comparative studies on emissions from pure fossil diesel, and mixtures with biodiesel in variable proportions were also analysed. Challenges and considerations that focused on technological, agronomic and infrastructure aspects of biodiesel production are indicated
