The world is fatigued by the devastating consequences of utilizing fossil fuels, which have a
detrimental impact on the environment, economy, public policy, and human social interactions. In the
pursuit of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels, various renewable energy sources have
emerged. Among these, soybean oil has recently gained attention as a flagship prospect for the most
promising energy source of the future. Currently, soybean is being used as a substitute for biodiesel
production due to its abundant oil content and renewable nature. With the growing demand for renewable
energy sources, soybean has become a viable choice for biodiesel production, providing a sustainable
substitute for fossil fuels. The utilization of soybean as a feedstock for biodiesel production has gained
popularity in recent years, as it offers a renewable and environmentally friendly solution to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, agricultural sustainability will be promoted, and new job
opportunities will be created. Soybean biodiesel has been found to exhibit similar performance
characteristics to petroleum diesel, making it a practical and efficient alternative for transportation and
other diesel-powered applications. This article aims to illuminate the significance of using soybean oil as
a novel source of biodiesel by understanding its properties, conversion process, and addressing some
challenges in adopting it as a renewable energy source.
