Transportation remains one of the largest contributors to global
carbon dioxide emissions with the majority of vehicles using
fossil-based fuels such as gasoline and diesel. Therefore,
alternatives that come from a renewable feedstock and create fewer
carbon emissions are urgently needed. Biodiesel, an alternative to
fossil-based diesel fuel, can be produced from renewable or waste
feedstocks such as biomass, animal fats and industrial wastes making
it much more sustainable. However, challenges remain in improving and
refining the properties of biodiesel, developing production processes
and choosing feedstocks with optimal sustainability. Focusing on
recent advances in the areas of feedstocks for biodiesel, production
processes, and testing and enhancement of properties, Developments in
Biodiesel provides a balance between academic and industrial
viewpoints across a range of topics. It is an ideal reference for both
academics and industrialists interested in sustainable energy,
sustainable fuels and biomass/waste valorisation.
