Biodiesel is primarily made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking oils, with common feedstocks including soybean oil, canola oil, and palm oil. The production process involves transesterification, where these oils or fats are reacted with an alcohol, typically methanol, to produce fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which is biodiesel. Additionally, algae are also being explored as a sustainable source for biodiesel due to their high oil content and rapid growth rates.
