Biodiesel represents a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, offering notable environmental advantages such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower toxicity, and biodegradability. However, its conventional production, primarily via the transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, faces considerable challenges, including high production costs, limited feedstock availability, energy intensive processes, and competition with food resources, all of which impede its large-scale implementation. This review critically evaluates the potential of emerging non-conventional feedstocks and production methods to address these limitations and enhance the overall feasibility of biodiesel. Alternative feedstocks such as waste cooking oil, lignocellulosic biomass, and microalgae are highlighted for their abundance, cost effectiveness, and minimal competition with food production, with microalgae particularly notable due to their rapid growth and high lipid content, making them a promising third generation source. Concurrently, advanced production technologies including enzymatic catalysis, supercritical fluids, microwave-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, and photothermal transesterification are examined for their capacity to increase reaction efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and process low quality feedstocks. Noteworthy advancements, such as microwave assisted systems that reduce reaction time by over 99 % and achieve biodiesel yields exceeding 96 % under ambient conditions, underscore the potential for industrial scale application. By comparing conventional and non-conventional approaches, this review underscores the pivotal role of innovation in overcoming technical and economic barriers, offering a comprehensive synthesis of recent developments to inform future research, industrial practices, and policy initiatives aimed at fostering a more sustainable biodiesel industry.
