“…Higher-chain alcohols and alkyl nitrates are commonly utilized as surfactants and cetane improvers, respectively (Vellaiyan 2020). This method is energetically profitable and does not require previous treatment of vegetable oils to produce biodiesel with properties comparable to those of traditional diesel (Devarajan et al 2022).…”

Sustainable development is imperative, and the worldwide energy production must focus on the transition from petroleum derivatives to biomass-based biofuels and bioproducts to achieve a bio-based economy. The global interest in the processing of waste biomass to obtain bio-based products is continuously increasing. However, biorefineries have not yet been consolidated. The effective conversion of biomass components for the generation of value-added biochemicals and biofuels is a determining factor for the economic success of biorefineries. Therefore, exhaustive research has been performed to consolidate the biorefinery industry. This review summarizes the current advances in liquid biofuel production and solid catalysts prepared from waste biomass, as well as their advantages, drawbacks, and statistical data. It offers an extensive perspective, covering conventional methods and cutting-edge techniques such as biochemical and thermochemical biomass conversion technologies (e.g., hydrolysis, fermentation, pyrolysis, and gasification) to produce bioalcohols, biodiesel, renewable diesel, bio-jet, and bio-oil. In addition, the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts using residual biomass and different synthesis routes and their role in biofuel production were analyzed. This review contributes to the analysis of the importance of identifying and valorizing a wide spectrum of raw materials (i.e., urban, forestry, industrial, and agricultural) that have the potential to be used as catalyst precursors and biofuel feedstock. Finally, a techno-economic analysis, the main challenges, and the future scope of the diverse methods used to prepare biofuels and catalysts are discussed. This review examines numerous aspects from biomass to catalysts, thus providing relevant information for researchers, students, policymakers, and industry experts. Graphical abstract

“…When the chain of hydrocarbon atoms increases, the value of the cetane number of the fuel increases; the cetane number decreases when there are more double bonds, showing that the cetane number is inversely proportional to the degree of saturation of the fuel. 47 , 48 The presence of a higher number of saturated double bonds in pine and turpentine oil, and also shorter carbon chains, results in a lower cetane number. 49 Despite the presence of double bonds, lemon peel oil, citronella oil and eucalyptus oil have a higher cetane value because the carbon chains of these oils are alicyclic hydrocarbons in nature.…”

Under the roof of solid industrialization and accelerated intensification of multiple ranges of mobilization, a huge rise in precious fuel consumption and pollution was observed. Based on the recent hardships of fossil fuels, experts are undoubtedly eager in carrying out their research in renewable environment-friendly fuels. There have been many reviews of works considering the parameters and standards of biodiesel, which is only from various vegetable and seed oils. But very little review work was carried out on only plant-based biofuel. Plant-based fuel has a lower viscosity and higher volatility properties. The target of this review was to make a bridge to overcome these research gaps. This review extensively studies the biological background, production outcome, properties, and reliability of plant-based biofuel and also deeply investigates the feasibility of usage in a diesel engine. From deep investigation it was identified that most of the low viscous fuel had higher brake thermal efficiency (BTE) (2% to 4%) and NOx emission (5% to 10%) than high viscous biodiesel. The formation of hydrocarbon (HC), CO, and smoke emission was similar to high viscous biodiesel. Overall, the low viscous fuel effectively improves the engine behaviors.

“…It also depended on the fish species (Karkal and Kudre 2020 ). Studies on salmon oil having high acid value suggested that one-step alkaline-catalyzed transesterification was not a very efficient way to produce biodiesel from it (Devarajan et al 2022 ), indicating this process needs to be modified (Santos et al 2015 ).…”

Biodiesel is a highly promising and viable alternative to fossil-based diesel that also addresses the urgent need for effective waste management. It can be synthesized by the chemical modification of triglycerides sourced from vegetable origin, animal fat, or algal oil. The transesterification reaction is the preferred method of producing biodiesel. However, the non-miscibility of alcohol and oil layer causes excessive utilization of alcohol, catalyst, and a substantial reacting time and temperature. In the current investigation, transesterification of waste fish oil was performed with petro-diesel as cosolvent, under the influence of ultrasound energy. The combination of both techniques is a unique and efficient way to minimize the mass transfer limitations considerably and hence reduces the parameters of the reaction. It is also a sincere effort to comply with the principles of green chemistry. The optimum reaction conditions were obtained using response surface methodology (RSM) that were as follows: molar ratio of methanol to oil 9.09:1, catalyst concentration of 0.97 wt%, cosolvent concentration of 29.1 wt%, temperature 60.1℃, and a reacting time 30 min. Under these listed conditions, 98.1% biodiesel was achievable, which was in close agreement with the expected result. In addition, the cosolvent removal step from the crude biodiesel was also eliminated as it could be employed as a blended fuel in CI engines.
