Biofuels are an important factor as a substitute for fossil fuels. Their production is increasing around the world. Catalytic processes are used to produce biofuel. The availability and wide diversity of biomass resources have made them an attractive and promising source of energy. Nanocatalysts are used to improve product quality and achieve optimal operating conditions. Nanocatalysts due to its high catalytic activity and high specific surface area, can overcome the problems associated with heterogeneous catalysts such as mass transfer resistance, high time consumption, fast deactivation and inefficiency. In the present review importance of biofuel, overview of nanocatalyst in the preparation of biofuel have been reported. Also effect of various parameters such as alcohol to oil ratio, effect of reaction time and temperature , effect of catalyst loading on the biofuel production have been discussed. Overall it can be said that the biofuel production using nano catalyst is a promising approach.
