In the country and the world, it has become aware about the characteristics of non-renewable fossil fuels, and the high use of transport vehicles that use these fuels, in addition to industries and other sectors; these have boosted global research on alternative fuels, especially those derived from biomass. Peru in the change of its energy matrix has taken actions that allow it to increase the use of renewable energies such as biodiesel and bioethanol. Currently there are other proposals such as biorefineries that allow the greatest use of their natural resources. The investigations that have been carried out since 2010 have allowed us to have a technological contribution for the sustainable production of biodiesel in Peru.
