How is biodiesel produced?

Biodiesel is produced by reacting vegetable oils or animal fats with methanol (or ethanol) in the presence of a catalyst. This transesterification process splits triglycerides into fatty acid esters (biodiesel) and glycerin. Modern plants like the GlobeCore USB unit control all production stages automatically—heating, mixing, reaction timing, and product separation—to ensure efficient, eco-friendly biodiesel production at various scales.
