Abstract
Biofuels are an important alternative to the current energy demand nationally and globally. This paper analyzes the problems in the production of biodiesel from palm oil under the agro-ecological conditions of the Colombian Caribbean; likewise, it describes the basic aspects of biodiesel production, specifically biodiesel, showing its main advantages and disadvantages, raw materials, technologies, development perspectives and challenges, for its correct implementation in the regional, national and international context. Finally, it briefly analyzes the impacts of biodiesel on the environment as the main contribution to sustainable mobility
