Abstract: Biodiesel is a renewable biofuel consisting of fatty acid methyl esters （FAME）. Research on biodiesel is developing rapidly in China. However，due to the high price of feedstocks and the lack of down-stream products，the biodiesel industry is uncompetitive. Much effort has been devoted to exploiting lower-cost feedstocks and developing diverse down-stream products. This paper reviews the current research progress of feedstocks and deep-processing technologies for biodiesel. The status，distribution and features feedstocks for biodiesel are summarized. The characteristics of biodiesel from different feedstocks are presented. Biodiesel development strategies in China are proposed. Progress in FAME deep-processing technologies are also reviewed. As an important raw material，FAME can be deep-processed for producing a variety of valuable chemical products，such as second generation biodiesel，biodegradable lubricati base oil，fatty alcohol，alkanolamide，fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate and green plasticizers. The main challenge for FAME deep-processing is to develop highly efficient catalysts.
