Biodiesel fuel is increasingly being used in diesel supplies worldwide, as it both provides an environmentally preferable option and improves diesel engine performance through greater lubricity. The development and use of appropriate feedstocks to avoid food/fuel concerns, and technological developments directed towards improved quality and capacity, are crucial to the environmental impact of biodiesel production and utilisation and to the future of the industry. This book provides a comprehensive and timely reference on the entire biodiesel production chain, from soil to oil, detailing the range and development of biodiesel feedstocks as well as state-of-the-art biodiesel production technology.
