Biodiesel Catalyst Market, By Catalyst Type (Homogeneous Catalysts, Heterogeneous Catalysts), By Catalyst Source (Chemical Catalysts, Biological Catalysts), By Feedstock (Vegetable Oil-based Catalysts, Animal Fat-based Catalysts, Algae-based Catalysts), B

Biodiesel catalyst is a chemical catalyst that aids in the process of converting fats and vegetable oils into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which are then used as fuel. The use of such a catalyst is essential in the process because the reactions involved are extremely slow without one. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel and a great alternative to petroleum-based diesel. It is a green, non-toxic, and non-polluting fuel that can be produced from various animal and plant sources. Biodiesel can also be mixed with gasoline to increase its octane number and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The most common methods for the producing biodiesel include direct use and blending, thermal cracking, micro-emulsion, and transesterification. It is the most common method for producing biodiesel. It involves reacting the feedstock with an alcohol, usually methanol, in the presence of a catalyst, usually sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. This process breaks down the long-chain triglycerides in the feedstock into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which are the main components of biodiesel. Transesterification is a well-established process that produces high-quality biodiesel and is widely used in commercial biodiesel production.
