In the course of the last decades, Research and development accomplishments in this important energetic issue permitted the
development of several alternative and sustainable ways of producing biodiesel away from the controversial food crops-derived
diesel. The production of biofuels in general and biodiesel in particular is graduallybecoming a vital issue due to the rarefaction of
the fossil fuels and the urgent need to decrease the amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, the energy concerns, the growing
environmental awareness and the economic considerations are the major driving forces behind the worldwide direction towards
producing biofuel from bio-resources. Palm-biodiesel seems to be prospering, with enormous interest in other countries. Ashnani et
al. and Johansson found that palm-biodiesel can secure the energy supply, preserve the environment, and develop the rural regions
particularly the palm oil producers such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Colombia, and Thailand by not relying on petro- diesel.
