Making biodiesel: easy or challenging?

From this website: "Anybody can make biodiesel. It's easy, you can make it in your kitchen.."This process is so-called conventional chemical catalysts production and widely used nowadays.

From this paper: "Enzymatic production of biodiesel has been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional chemically catalyzed processes. The main obstacle facing full exploitation of the enzyme, lipase, potential is its cost". Is it a direction to make biodiesel?
