AI-generated Abstract
Biofuels play an essential role in the global energy landscape, providing a renewable alternative for transportation fuels. In 2010, global biofuel production reached 105 billion liters, meeting 2.7% of the world's fuel demands, primarily through ethanol and biodiesel. The paper discusses the history of biofuel, focusing on vegetable oil-based fuels and their potential growth in significance as alternatives to fossil fuels.

A importância da produção de biodiesel, nos últimos cinco anos, é apresentada a partir de artigos científicos publicados e patentes depositadas. Foi realizada uma análise crítica sobre as fontes oleaginosas mais utilizadas como matéria-prima para produção de biodiesel, os catalisadores e os métodos de acompanhamento da reação de transesterificação. Também foram avaliados estudos comparativos entre emissões de diesel fossil e misturas, em várias proporções, com biodiesel. Finalmente, foram indicados desafios enfocando aspectos tecnológicos, agronômicos e de infraestrutura para produção de biodiesel. The importance of biodiesel production was analyzed based on scientific articles and patents. A critical analysis was presented on the most used oil sources, the catalysts and the methods to verify the transesterification yields. Also analyzed were the comparative studies on emissions from pure fossil diesel and mixtures with biodiesel in variable proportions. Finally some challenges and considerations focused on technological, agronomic and infrastructure aspects of biodiesel production were indicated.
The increasing industrialization and motorization of the world has led to a steep rise in the demand of fossil fuel and associated environmental issues. Fossil fuels are obtained from limited reserves and will run out eventually. Therefore renewable and environmental-friendly energy substitutes such as bio fuels as well as fuel efficiency improving methods are required.

In the recent past, intensive studies on internal combustion engines has emerged with a view to obtaining higher rate of production of fuels from alternative sources. The increase in alternative fuel investigations is caused by two main factors; a rapid decrease in world petroleum reserves and important environmental concerns originating from exhaust emissions. Fast depletion of the viable alternative fuels. Diesel fuel is largely consumed by the transportation sector. Thermodynamic tests based on the engine performance evaluations have established the feasibility of using vegetable oils. It has been found that vegetable oils hold special promise in this regard, because they can be produced from the plants grown in rural areas. Vegetable oils from crops such as soya bean, peanut, sunflower, rape, palm, coconut, karanja, neem, cotton, mustard, jatropha, linseed and caster have been evaluated in many parts of the world in comparison with other non-edible oils. To solve energy and envi...

Methyl, ethyl, 2-propyl and butyl esters were prepared from canola and linseed oils through transesteri®cation using KOH and/ or sodium alkoxides as catalysts. In addition, methyl and ethyl esters were prepared from rapeseed and sun¯ower oils using the same catalysts. Chemical composition of the esters was determined by HPLC for the class of lipids and by GC for fatty acid compositions. The bio-diesel esters were characterized for their physical and fuel properties including density, viscosity, iodine value, acid value, cloud point, pure point, gross heat of combustion and volatility. Methyl and ethyl esters prepared from a particular vegetable oil had similar viscosities, cloud points and pour points, whereas methyl, ethyl, 2-propyl and butyl esters derived from a particular vegetable oil had similar gross heating values. However, their densities, which were 2±7% higher than those of diesel fuels, statistically decreased in the order of methyl $ 2-propyl > ethyl > butyl esters. Butyl esters showed reduced cloud points ()6°C to )10°C) and pour points ()13°C to )16°C) similar to those of summer diesel fuel having cloud and pour points of )8°C and )15°C, respectively. The viscosities of bio-diesels (3:3±7:6 Â 10 À4 Pa s at 40°C) were much less than those of pure oils (22:4±45:1 Â 10 À4 Pa s at 40°C) and were twice those of summer and winter diesel fuels (3.50 and 1:72 Â 10 À4 Pa s at 40°C), and their gross heat contents of approximately 40 MJ/kg were 11% less than those of diesel fuels ($45 MJ/kg). For dierent esters from the same vegetable oil, methyl esters were the most volatile, and the volatility decreased as the alkyl group grew bulkier. However, the bio-diesels were considerably less volatile than the conventional diesel fuels. Ó
