“…On the other hand, the minimum power output was shown at the end of 3519 rpm, which was 37.35 kW for the biodiesel (B100) and 42.75 kW for the diesel-biodiesel fuel blends (B20). These results are in line with the results of other studies that have been carried out by Guo et al [16].…”

Biodiesel is a substitute or replacement petroleum diesel fuel used to reduce pollution without modifying engines. This study aimed to investigate the engine performance and emissions characteristics of a passenger car engine (Hilux 2.4G Double cabin (4x4) M/T) fuelled by two different fuels, which is biodiesel (B100) and diesel-biodiesel fuel blend (B20). The study was conducted at the Bioenergy Laboratory of Balittri, the Thermodynamics and Propulsion Engine Research Center of BPPT, and the Research Center for Oil and Gas Technology Development (LEMIGAS), from November 2019 to February 2020. The result showed that the traction and power for diesel-biodiesel fuel blends were obtained slightly higher than biodiesel. Biodiesel has marginally higher fuel consumption than diesel-biodiesel fuel blends. According to the emission analysis, biodiesel produces lower exhaust emissions of unburned fuel emissions, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide content in the exhaust gas than diesel-biodiesel fuel blends.

“…The authors added that it has a vital role in the design of the injector nozzle as it directly affects the operation of the engine. The fuel density that was out of the standard bounds tends to lower the performance of the engine (Guo et al 2016). In this study, the density of all the tested samples was still in the range of the ASTM standards of biodiesel that were around 860 and 900 kg•m -3 (Karmakar et al 2018;Darwin et al 2020).…”

“…These were somewhat feasible since higher flash and firing points of biodiesel would minimise the possibility of any unanticipated fire risk (Karmakar et al, 2018). Hence, the produced biodiesel would be useful in terms of safety use, storage and transportation (Guo et al 2016).…”

Various proportions of bentonite clay performing as co-catalysts were evaluated for the production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO). The results showed that the use of bentonite as a heterogeneous co-catalyst could significantly increase the biodiesel yield by approximately 50% of the control. The heterogeneous co-catalyst of bentonite clay improved the properties of the produced biodiesel including acid number, free fatty acids (FFA), relative density, kinematic viscosity and flash point fulfilling with the standard ASTM limits and the European Biodiesel Standard (EN 14214). The use of bentonite clay in the transesterification of WCO could also enhance the conductivity of the produced biodiesel from 11 to 100 µS•m -1 .

“…The physical and chemical properties of Jatropha biodiesel are presented in Table 4. The properties of Jatropha biodiesel [58][59][60] are similar to that of diesel [61], with the advantages of low viscosity, high flash point, and high cetane number. Biodiesel produced from Jatropha oil meets American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) [59] biodiesel standard and can be used directly in the engine to replace petroleum diesel [62,63].…”

In this study, a Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is integrated within a life cycle assessment (LCA) model to comprehensively evaluate the energy, environment, and economic impacts of the Jatropha biodiesel production in China. The total energy consumption of producing 1 ton of Jatropha biodiesel is 17566.16 MJ, in which fertilizer utilization and methanol production consume 78.14% and 18.65% of the overall energy consumption, respectively. The production of 1 ton of Jatropha biodiesel emits a number of pollutants, including 1184.52 kg of CO2, 5.86 kg of dust, 5.59 kg of NOx, 2.67 kg of SO2, 2.38 kg of CH4, and 1.05 kg of CO. By calculating and comparing their environmental impacts potentials, it was discovered that NOx and dust emissions during the fertilizer application, combustion of Jatropha shells, and methanol production urgently require improvement, as they contribute to serious global warming and particulate matter formation issues. LCC study shows that the cost of Jatropha biodiesel is 796.32 USD/ton, which is mostly contributed by Jatropha oil cost (44.37% of the total cost) and human input (26.70% of the total cost). Additional profits are generated by the combustion of Jatropha shells and glycerol by-product, which can compensate 16.76% of the cost of Jatropha biodiesel. Graphical Abstract
