Biodiesel obtained from the transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fat is a promising renewable green alternative fuel for compression ignition engines. Compression ignition engines are particularly suitable for medium-to-large road, rail and marine use. This is due to their excellent efficiency and longer operation life which is about twice as much as that for spark ignition engines. The replacement of conventional diesel fuel with biodiesel fuel is an attractive solution since the latter is regarded as a renewable, biodegradable, non-poisonous, and oxygenated fuel. However, existing production technologies offer less competitive prices than petroleum-derived diesel due to high input feed and biodiesel purification costs. Non-edible vegetable oils such as waste cooking oils may be used as cheaper substitutes to virgin edible vegetable oils in the feed stream.
