Biodiesel as renewable, environmental friendly, less toxic, and biodegradable is an attractive alternative to fossil fuels and is produced mainly from vegetable oils and animal fats. It is expected, globally, that the use of renewable biofuels, in general, will increase rapidly in the near future. The growing biodiesel production and usage have encouraged assessment of its impact on the environment. The present paper reviews various aspects of biodiesel production using commercial processing technology and biodiesel use through evaluation and analysis of the studies concerning environmental impacts of biodiesel. As a general conclusion, it can be said that biodiesel has the potential to offer a series of perceived benefits such as political, economical, and agricultural, as well as environmental (due to its biodegradability, less toxicity, renewability) and health (greenhouse gas-saving, less harmful exhaust emissions).
生物柴油作为一种可再生、环保、低毒、可生物降解的燃料，是化石燃料的一种有吸引力的替代品，主要由植物油和动物脂肪制成。预计在全球范围内，可再生生物燃料的使用将在不久的将来迅速增加。生物柴油产量和使用量的增加促使人们对其环境影响进行评估。本文综述了使用商业加工技术生产生物柴油和通过评估和分析生物柴油对环境影响的研究来使用生物柴油的各个方面。总的来说，可以说生物柴油有可能带来一系列好处，如政治、经济、农业以及环境（由于其可生物降解性、低毒性、可再生性）和健康（节省温室气体、减少有害废气排放）。
