Abstract

The insecurity, non-sustainability, and pollution problems associated with petroleum-based fuels have stimulated recent interest in exploring alternative and renewable energy resources, such as biodiesel. However, the major resources of biodiesel are limited to oilseed crops, which have direct utilization in food materials. Moreover, the current climate change scenarios would greatly affect the yield and quality of oil seed plants with a significant decrease in biodiesel production. Many workers are exploring the sustainable production of biodiesel. The current review describes the sustainable approaches (biochemical and physiological) toward improving the potential and quality of feedstock resources for biodiesel production.
