Development of biodiesel: Current scenario

Fuels are inevitable for industrial development and growth of any country. The life span of fossil fuel resources has always been terrifying. Biodiesel, a renewable source of energy seems to be an ideal solution for global energy demands including India as well. The current review is addressed to various aspects of biodiesel production. Latest literature has been critically reviewed and consulted.
