Biodiesel production process is carried by either catalytic or non-catalytic methods. Non-catalytic methods include use of alcohols or supercritical fluids or ionic liquids in the reaction system to produce biodiesel but mostly catalytic methods have been used for last 2 or 3 decades because of their advantages over non-catalytic methods [38]. Catalytic methods can be categorized into chemical homogenous catalysts, solid heterogenous catalysts, and biocatalysts.
