Biodiesel is gaining prominence as a superior alternative source of energy to replace petroleum-based fuel in transportation. As of today, the biodiesel market continuous to rise up as the biofuel has been introduced to more than 60 countries worldwide. The aim of the present review is to highlight on the scenario of the biofuel implementation in transportation sector towards sustainable development in Colombia and Malaysia. Colombia serves as an ideal comparative case for Malaysia in terms of biodiesel development since the country is the main palm oil producer in Latin America region and the pioneer in bioethanol industry. The first section shows an overview on the biodiesel as an alternative fuel in transportation. The next section will focus on a comparative study between Malaysia and Colombia biodiesel sector in terms of energy supply, resource, production and consumption, standards, techno-economic cost and their biodiesel policies. A comprehensive review was studied to discuss on the sustainability of palm cultivation and biodiesel, impact of palm industry and biodiesel policy in transportation sector and potential international collaboration between Malaysia and Colombia to improve their existing policies, strategies and blueprints related to the palm biodiesel industry, thus overcoming the challenges when dealing with global energy issue.

生物柴油作为替代运输中石油基燃料的优质替代能源正日益受到重视。时至今日，随着生物燃料被引入全球 60 多个国家，生物柴油市场持续上升。本次审查的目的是强调在运输部门实施生物燃料以实现哥伦比亚和马来西亚的可持续发展的情景。哥伦比亚是马来西亚在生物柴油发展方面的理想比较案例，因为该国是拉丁美洲地区的主要棕榈油生产国和生物乙醇行业的先驱。第一部分概述了生物柴油作为运输中的替代燃料。下一节将重点关注马来西亚和哥伦比亚生物柴油部门在能源供应方面的比较研究，资源、生产和消费、标准、技术经济成本及其生物柴油政策。对棕榈种植和生物柴油的可持续性、棕榈产业和生物柴油政策对交通运输部门的影响以及马来西亚和哥伦比亚之间潜在的国际合作进行了全面审查，以改进其现有的棕榈生物柴油产业政策、战略和蓝图，从而克服处理全球能源问题时的挑战。
