Oleaginous fungi as a sustainable source for biodiesel production: Current and future prospect

The growing need for energy resources and the urgent needed action for climate change competing lead to conflict between all sectors on how to meet the needs without causing environmental degradation. By looking for alternatives source between the renewable resources ؛the best selection meets the needs is biofuel. Out of Biofuel types, Biodiesel is a great and clean selection of energy resources. Biodiesel prepared from many feedstocks to extract fatty acid from different generations of biodiesel, each generation has its limitation thought looking for viable and cost-effective feedstock ؛ In this paper we discuss the use of agricultural waste as feedstock for biodiesel preparation using oleaginous fungi as mini-factories
