Biodiesel is the typical biofuel, made from vegetable and animal oil, and is currently used for diesel fuel car and heating, blended with diesel fuel or as a pure fuel. Recently, the need of biodiesel has rapidly increased as it is regarded as one of the alternative energies of coal oil. This is generally produced through the ester-transesterfication reaction by adding MeOH to triglyceride as shown in Figure 1 below. The product of the reaction is fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which are known as biodiesel, and glycerol.
