Research abstract
Biodiesel production has grown substantially in the past few years in response to the increased price of imported fossil energy and significant interest in the private and public sectors for a clean renewable energy source, a desire to reduce dependence on foreign oil, and a desire to provide opportunities for American agricultural products. The U.S. market is expected to grow to between 1 to 2 billion US gallons in 2010 and double that worldwide. Beyond 2010, market growth in green energy is projected to increase dramatically due to trends in mandates by many states. However, the only conventional technology capable of satisfying the new more stringent biodiesel specifications consistently for a wide range of waste feedstock
