9.2 The Reaction of Biodiesel: Transesterification. So, how do we make biodiesel? The method being described here is for making FAMEs biodiesel. The reaction is called transesterification, and the process takes place in four steps. The first step is to mix the alcohol for reaction with the catalyst, typically a strong base such as NaOH or KOH.

energy balance, however, is reportedly less favorable than conventional transesterification, implying higher processing costs. Still, the processing cost difference with transesterification is expected to be relatively low and is more than offset by the compatibility with existing distribution infrastructures.

Usually, the life cycle energy of an input is higher than its calorific value, with seed as an exception. According to the NREL model, it takes 3.16 MJ of total fossil energy per kilogram (kg) of soybean seed production, whereas soybeans contain 16.8 MJ/kg (estimated from the equivalent energy of protein, carbohydrate and fat in the seed).

Transesterification is an organic reaction in which the R group of an alcohol is exchanged with an R’ group of an ester. This is generally done via the introduction of an acid or base catalyst to the reaction mixture. However, it can also be done using certain enzyme catalysts (such as lipases). An illustration detailing the exchange of an R

Energy in Soybean Crushing and Transesterification
Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans by crushing and pressing the beans to expel the oil. In some cases, a chemical solvent is used to obtain a greater oil yield. One bushel of soybeans (60 pounds) yields about 1.4
Theoretical biodiesel yields for biodiesel soybean and tallow are as follows: 1004.2 kg/1000 kg soybean and 998.1 kg/1000 kg tallow. The amount of methanol in Table 1 is based on 100 percent excess, and the data are for transesterification using sodium methoxide as a catalyst.
