Biodiesel has emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy to substitute existing petroleum-derived diesel fuel being used in transportation sectors. Among the various feedstocks reported for biodiesel production, Moringa oleifera oil is becoming a promising replacement for conventional diesel fuel. Therefore, this work provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in biodiesel production from Moringa oleifera oil. The physicochemical properties, fatty acid composition of oil and methyl esters, oil extraction methods, esterification, and transesterification process, and purification methods employed in the biodiesel production have been discussed.
