TLDR
In this paper, the transesterification reaction of rapeseed oil in supercritical methanol was investigated without using any catalyst, and it was shown that in a preheating temperature of 350°C, 240 s of supercritical treatment of methenol was sufficient to convert the rapeseed oils to methyl esters.About:

Biodiesel fuel production by transesterification of oils.
TL;DR: Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters), which is derived from triglycerides by transesterification with methanol, has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel processing and production
TL;DR: Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel that is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats, which consists of the monoalkyl esters formed by a catalyzed reaction of the triglycerides in the oil or fat with a simple monohydric alcohol.
