Green diesel accomplishment through usage of feedstock and catalyst promising enhanced application for future prospective

Abstract

Global warming and the greenhouse gases are alarming issues concern for humans worldwide. It is not only causing harm to the environment but also are a threat for the survival of all living species. As the population has increased due to wide growth, the threat has escalated to an alarming level. The uncontrolled population increase has amplified the use of resources and production of domestic, industrial, and biological waste causing inappropriate reliance and exploitation of fossil fuels bringing its closer to exhaustion. The biological waste has potential to be used in producing the green diesel which has great potency as fuel in the place of fossil-based and toxic gas releasing fuels. The use of green diesel can contribute in controlling increasing of different pollution viz. air, water, and soil which can help in managing the problems of waste disposal. Green diesel production through the process of hydrogenation/hydro-deoxygenation using catalyst may also be explored for potential evaluation which has led to involvement of catalyst as a measure for fuel production as a new avenue for research. The manuscript provides a detailed insight about the applications and future aspects for the utilization of green diesel.
