Energy demand is increasing due to the expanding population growth in Botswana and the world at large. It has become apparent that biodiesel is destined to make a substantial contribution to the future energy demands of the domestic and industrial economies. Non-edible plant oils which are known as the second generation feed-stocks can be considered as promising substitutions for traditional edible food crops for the production of bio-diesel. The use of non-edible plant oils is very significant because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food source. Moreover, edible oils' feedstock costs are far expensive to be used as fuel. Therefore, production of bio-diesel from non-edible oils is an effective way to overcome all the associated problems with edible oils. However, the potential of converting non-edible oil into bio-diesel must be well examined as the physical and chemical properties might differ from that of edible oils, hence the need for this research.
