Limited crude petroleum and growing awareness of fossil fuel depletion have enabled the
development of alternative fuels and new energy sources. Biodiesel, also known as fatty …

Biodiesel produced form waste cooking oil (WCO) has increasingly attracted the attentions
as an alternative fuel due to lower particulate emissions and other beneficial factors such as …

This study investigates the potential role of Juglans sp. root extract-mediated copper oxide
nanoparticles of Luffa cylindrica seed oil (LCSO) into methyl esters. The synthesized green …

Concerns over the depletion of fossil fuels are increasing to minimize the exhaustive use of
fuels and thereby decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatives such as …

The catalytic transesterification of vegetable oil over heterogeneous catalysts is an effective
approach for biodiesel production. To elucidate the role of MgO in catalyzing this reaction …

In this study, the layered double hydroxide of MgAl was synthesized and utilized as a
catalyst for transesterification. The catalyst structure was modified by adding Ba and Li to …

Pedalium murex, a less-utilized traditional plant, has high lipid content, which ranges from
21 mg/gfw (milligram per gram fresh weight) in leaf, 32 mg/gfw in stem and 19 mg/gfw in …

Biodiesel has been considered to be the best substitute for diesel due to its unique qualities
which contribute to environmental conservation. This work was undertaken to …

We confined the formation and characterization of heterogenous nano-catalysts and then
used them to produce biodiesel from the novel non-edible seed oil of Prunus aitchisonii. P …

Croton megalocarpus oil is a non-edible oil with potential to produce biodiesel in East Africa.
Transesterification of the oil and methanol to produce fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) was …
