Abstract
Start your abstract here... Uses of heterogeneous catalyst in bio-energy production also refer to as green energy has been in existence and well researched. Majority of recent heterogeneous catalysts produced focus on optimizing yield of biodiesel from a single feedstock without concerted efforts been made to consider the cost of production. They are mostly developed and produced from synthetic chemicals with their attendants high cost of production. The present review summarizes the needs to produce heterogeneous solid catalyst from wastes and natural resources like clay which is available in all parts of the world.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
