Currently, the development of renewable fuels from biomass is
an important key to future energy due to the depletion ofpetroleum fuels. Triglycerides in vegetable oils and animal fats
are generally composed of C8–C24 fatty acids. They have been used
as important renewable feedstocks for the production of renewable
fuels because of their low degree of functionalization and simple
structure compared with cellulosic biomass [1,2]. In particular,
palm oil contains primarily C16 and C18 fatty acids, making it a
promising feedstock for green diesel and biodiesel production.
