Biodiesel Production by Direct Transesterification Process via Sequential Use of Acid–Base Catalysis

It is a well-known fact that energy consumption is rapidly increasing due to population growth, higher standard of living and increased production. A significant amount of energy resources are being consumed by the transportation sector leading to fast depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pol...
