1. To develop the nanostructured catalysts based on calcium-magnesium(-iron) composite using combustion synthesis technique combined with related pre- or post-treatment, and to apply it for biodiesel production via transesterification of vegetable oil
2. To develop the nanostructured catalysts based on Co-Ni-W sulfide and oxide coupling with metal promoters and nanoporous carbon supports, and to apply it for hydrodeoxygenation of vegetable oil to synthetic diesel
3. To show a comparative feasibility study between biodiesel and biohydrodeoxygenated diesel from technical and economical points of view
