Abstract
The conversion efficiency of biodiesel via transesterification depends upon the nature of feedstock, amount and type of alcohol and catalyst, operating temperature, and reaction time. In this study the performance of alkaline, acidic, and enzymatic catalysts have been reviewed. Modern techniques of development of biodiesel i.e., use of microwaves and super critical alcohol have also been discussed critically.
