Biodiesel will play an increasing role in fulfilling the world's energy requirement. The world has experienced negative effect from the fossil fuel such as global warming and acid rain etc. With the increase in consumption of biodiesel, its impact on environment has raised a discussion around the world. Energy requirement of the world will increase in coming future and is projected to increase by 50% from 2005 to 2030. The paper presents the results of biodiesel combustion emission on the environment.
