Abstract
In the last three decades the world has been confronting an energy crisis caused by the decreased of fossil resources, and increased of environmental problems. This situation resulted in a search for an alternative fuel which is renewable and environmental friendly. Among the various alternatives fuels, bio-fuel is an emerging area of research. The transportation sector is one of the major consumers of fossil fuels and a biggest contributor to environmental pollution, which can be reduced by replacing the mineral-based fuels with bio-origin such as vegetable oils. Vegetables oils, both edible and non-edible oils are promising source of liquid fuels due its improved engine performance and reduced exhaust emissions. It can be produced from forests, vegetable oil crops and oil bearing biomass materials. Bio-fuel is the power behind a green tomorrow and a key future asset for sustainability.
