“…The fuel properties shown conform to international standard ASTM D6751. The viscosity of the fuel produced is in agreement with the value reported by El-Diwani et al (2009) and is very close to those reported by Pranab (2011), Yadav et al (2016, Das et al (2017). The cetane number, calorific and acid values are close with those reported by Pranab (2011).…”

“…It is biodegradable, non-toxic (Celeste, 2000;Dinesh et al, 2016) and reduces the extent of dependence on petroleum fuel imports (Das et al, 2017;Komers et al, 2001;Pranab, 2011). Biodiesel has a favorable combustion emission profile such as low emissions of carbon monoxide, particulate matter and unburned hydrocarbons (Celeste, 2000;Das et al, 2017;Mishra et al, 2017;Olivers, 2010;Simone et al, 2017). Carbon dioxide produced by combustion of biodiesel can be recycled by photosynthesis thereby minimizing the impacts of excessive carbon dioxide to the ozone layer (Das, 2008).…”

“…Biodiesel is less volatile and safer to transport or handle than petroleum diesel because it has a higher flash point (150 °C or above) (Akhihiero et al, 2012;Mishra et al, 2017;Yadav et al, 2016). It provides lubricating properties that can reduce engine wear and extend engine life (Das et al, 2017;Mishra et al, 2017; Yadav et al 2017).…”

“…The addition of biodiesel to regular diesel fuel in an amount equal to 1-2% can convert fuel with poor lubricating properties such as modern ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel into an acceptable fuel (Gerpen, 2005;Yadav et al, 2017). In transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fat with methanol, liquid catalysts such as sodium methoxide (NaOCH3), potassium hydroxide (KOH), potassium methoxide (KOCH3), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium ethoxide (NaOCH2CH3) have been commonly used (Talha and Suleiman, 2016).…”

Production of biodiesel by transesterification method from renewable feedstock has come to stay. Biodiesel usage in internal combustion engines is gradually gaining ground due to its ability to produce less carbon (iv) oxide gas than fossil diesel during combustion. The production of less carbon (iv) oxide fumes will help to reduce environmental pollution that causes climate change. Jatropha curcas seed oil is a viable renewable feedstock for biodiesel production. Transesterification of Jatropha curcas seed oil with methanol using solid calcium oxide as catalyst was carried out. The free fatty acid of the oil used was 1.4%, while the molar ratio of methanol to oil, reaction temperature and time were 8:1, 65 °C, and 1hour respectively. The biodiesel produced was analyzed with gas chromatography mass spectrophotometer and the methyl ester content was 87.25%. The fuel properties of the biodiesel produced in a reaction time of about 1 hour 30 minutes are within the range of the values given by ASTM D6751 standard.

Due to population explosion, and increased industrialization with urban and rural development, the need for increased energy utilization has become more intense. Petrodiesel that has been the main energy source for heavy-duty automobiles or machines has contributed immensely to environmental pollution leading to climate change, an increase in illnesses, and reduced lifespan. To combat this ugly situation arising from the utilization of Petrodiesel, biodiesel is produced from plant oil or animal fats to substitute for Petrodiesel in internal combustion engines, either as neat biodiesel or as a blend with Petrodiesel. Different scientists and researchers have produced biodiesel from edible and non-edible plant oils. Their reports show that biodiesel properties depend on the nature of the parent plant oil and the production procedures taken. These properties that are due mainly to its production procedures determining their performance in internal combustion engines. In this chapter, recent findings on biodiesel properties with their effects on performance in internal combustion engines are reviewed. Researchers’ reports show that the most suitable blend of biodiesel with Petrodiesel is B20. This blend consisting of 20% biodiesel with 80% Petrodiesel has equivalent performance as Petrodiesel with fewer pollutants and only 1–7% nitrogen oxide emission.
