The predicted shortage of fossil fuels and related environmental concerns have recently attracted significant attention to scientific and technological issues concerning the conversion of biomass into fuels. First-generation biodiesel, obtained from vegetable oils and animal fats by transesterification, relies on commercial technology and rich scientific background, though continuous progress in this field offers opportunities for improvement. This review focuses on new catalytic systems for…

An overview of catalytic conversion of vegetable oils/fats into middle distillates
Due to scarce conventional petroleum fuel, there is a need to search for alternative renewable fuel that can be adopted for use in place of fossil fuel oil. Even the ester-based biodiesel has many…
Current advances in catalysis toward sustainable biodiesel production
Challenges and perspectives for catalysis in production of diesel from biomass
The production of biofuels is expected to increase in the future due to environmental concerns, accelerating oil prices and the desire to achieve independence from mineral oil sources. Of the…
Catalytic Production of Biodiesel
The focus of this thesis is the catalytic production of diesel from biomass, especially emphasising catalytic conversion of waste vegetable oils and fats. In chapter 1 an introduction to biofuels and…
