Abstract

Biodiesel or known as the fatty acid alkyl ester is a renewable and environmental-friendly biofuel which normally was derived from the triglycerides or fatty acids. The sustainability of the biodiesel always concerns and covers the cost of the production, energy supply and demand (net energy balance), sustainability of larger crop production or feedstock supply, acceptance of the country and economic stability. Above all, the lack of petroleum production, the increase in fuel efficiency and affordable by the public are significant reasons for the biodiesel to become one of the most important energy supplies for our future. This chapter will cover and survey the dimension of potential sustainability, current and future directions of the biodiesel production worldwide.
