This diagram illustrates the production of biodiesel across different stages.Overall, the first production stage begins from energy consumption through photosynthesis . The process of photosynthesis involes the use of sunlight and carbon dioxide then to production of seed oil.
Then, the extraction of crude vegetable oil from seeds and the process of refining takes place through the use of alcohol and catalyst and glycerol and catalyst used by food and cosmetic industry to produce biodiesel used for transportation.
Furthermore, the CO2 from vehicles,ships continues as a cycle through the process of photosynthesis which has an effect in the production of biodiesel.
Inconclusion, the biodiesel cycle demostrates the eight different stages whereby production of biodiesel takes place
