Potential of Feedstock and Catalysts from Waste in Biodiesel Preparation: A Review

For many years, the cost of production has been the main barrier in commercializing biodiesel, globally. It has been well researched and established in the literature that the cost of feedstock is the major contributor. Biodiesel producers are forced to choose between edible and on-edible feedstock....
