Abstract

Renewable energy resources appear to be one of the most efficient and effective solutions. Thus, it is essential to replace gradually the current nonrenewable resources with renewable ones to meet future demand of energy. Many of the changes are having a profound influence on renewable energy, from policies explicitly designed to promote renewable energy. Among the many renewable fuels currently available around the world, biodiesel offers an immediate impact in our energy. Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel. Biodiesel production using various types of heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts has been studied in the past. However, most of these catalysts have been prepared in the form of powders with s
