Abstract

The use of natural resources in the production of diesel has led to the increase in the prices and main concern is to focus towards the bio energy to reduce the percentage of pollution level in various reigns of the globe. New type of energy resources like from wind energy, nuclear energy and solar been used to make energy efficient fuel which can be recycled easily and can be reused again. Biofuel serve as the best source of energy as they are cheaper in synthesis. To make production of biofuel by transesterification process more efficient choosing a suitable catalyst plays very significant role. Homogenous catalyst is been performed by various authors, it is been observed that the reusability and recyclability is complicated and expensive. Heterogeneous type catalysts provide efficient yielding results and can be reused again. The work towards the Nano catalyst over the production of biofuel has been done to a limited extent. The exploitation of Nano catalysts, at the boundary between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst, provides modern efficient methods to develop energy efficient biofuels.
