📄 Abstract（原文）
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The global dependence on fossil fuels has led to severe environmental and economic pressures, while the gradual exhaustion of conventional energy sources highlights the urgent demand for sustainable alternatives. Biofuels, particularly biodiesel, offer a promising solution due to their lower emissions, superior combustion performance, and environmental advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of current biodiesel production worldwide, examining the range of feedstocks, production techniques, and key techno-economic factors, with a special focus on renewable and waste-derived raw materials. Furthermore, the study evaluates biodiesel’s potential role in the maritime sector, considering regulatory requirements, fuel price volatility, and energy security challenges. Recent global disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the energy crisis amplified by the Russia–Ukraine conflict, have driven unprecedented increases in fuel prices, significantly impacting energy-intensive industries such as shipping. The findings underscore the importance of diversifying fuel supply chains and enhancing energy resilience. With appropriate policy measures, availability of feedstocks, and technological optimization, biodiesel could substantially reduce emissions and stabilize fuel costs in maritime transport, reinforcing its role as a transitional fuel within broader decarbonization strategies.</p>
