World energy crisis caused that continuous use of fossil fuels is now widely recognized unsustainable. Depleting supplies and contribution of petroleum fuels forced search of alternative energy source. Renewable biofuels are needed to displace petroleum derived transport fuels. Biodiesel is an alternative, renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic fuel. Therefore it can be used alone or blended with conventional petro diesel in unmodified diesel engine vehicles. It has been well reported that biodiesel can be made from almost any biosource from animal fat to vegetable oil such as soybean, palm and sunflower oil. Unfortunately biodiesel made from crops oil, animal fat or waste cooking oil cannot be the only source of biodiesel. Also microalgae appear to be a promising source of biodiesel that gratified the global demand for transport fuel. Like plants, microalgae use sunlight to produce oil. The major component of microalgae oil are triglycerides which can be converted in reaction named transestryfication to produce biodiesel. Transestryfication is a chemical reaction between oil triglycerides and alcohol. This reaction is usually catalyzed by a strong base, such as NaOH or KOH, acid (H2SO4) or enzyme such as lipase. It has been well reported that transestryfication process using alkali catalyst gives a high level conversion triglycerides to their corresponding methyl esters in a short time. Transestryfication process is affected by the mode of reaction conditions, molar ratio and type of alcohol, type of catalyst, reaction time or temperature.
