Biodiesel, Renewable energy, Biofuels, Bioenergy, Biodiesel productionAbstract
The demand for energy and environmental issues due to the burning of fossil fuels drive the world in search for renewable energy sources, with emphasis on biodiesel, which is obtained from oils of raw materials such as soybeans and other oilseeds, as well as used cooking oil, some agricultural residues, and microalgae. This study aims to provide an overview of biodiesel in Brazil and assess the feasibility of using other raw materials for large-scale production.
