Biodiesel Production from Agricultural Waste Biomass

Fossil fuels including coal, natural gas, and oil are frequently used. Because of continuous urbanization and industrialization, there is a rising need for fossil fuels. Overuse of fossil fuels harms the ecosystem, especially as it releases greenhouse gases. Fuels made from biomass, such as bioethanol, biodiesel, and biohydrogen, can be used to replace petroleum-based fuels, while fossil fuels can be produced using renewable energy sources, like wind, water, sunlight, biomass, and geothermal heat. Due to the conflict between food and fuel, it is no longer desirable to produce biodiesel from agricultural crops. Agricultural lignocellulosic waste has several benefits, including cheaper cost, renewability, and quantity. Grass, sawdust, wood chips, and other lignocellulosic waste products are some examples. Rice straw, wheat straw, corn straw, and sugarcane bagasse are among the most prevalent agricultural wastes. To be able to produce biodiesel from these substantial lignocellulose agricultural wastes, it is imperative to have access to technology that is both usable and widely accessible.
