“…Another major obstacle in biodiesel production is associated with feedstock costs, which account for about 60–70% 179 . To reverse the situation and reduce the cost associated with biodiesel production, different alternative feedstocks which are non‐food crops (inedible) like Jatropha curcas , 181 jojoba ( Simmondsia chinensis ), 182 cottonseed ( Gossypium hirsutum ), 183 moringa ( Moringa oleifera ), 184 and others have been exhaustively tested by different researchers.…”

Global energy demand is expanding due to an increasing population and the use of energy‐intensive technologies. Fossil‐based energy and transportation sectors have been blamed for greenhouse gas emissions and price fluctuations. Biofuel production has been suggested as a possible solution to this problem, despite the cost of production and difficulties with the availability of feedstocks, and the food versus energy debate, which is still a challenging issue. For many decades, researchers have been investigating how to valorize low‐cost and non‐edible biomass resources, including fruit‐processing waste and its byproducts, to produce various biofuels using innovative, cost‐effective, and green technologies to overcome these challenges. However, exhaustive studies and comprehensive and structured knowledge related to the biofuel production potential of fruit waste and byproducts are lacking because most of the research that has been done so far was specific to a single fruit, location, and method. As a result, this review paper emphasizes the evaluation of the physicochemical compositions of the wastes and byproducts derived from tropical fruit production and processing to determine their suitability in the production of different biofuels via various valorization techniques. The results of the review showed that fruit waste is a potential alternative raw material for producing different biofuels, like biodiesel, biogas, biohydrogen, and fuel pellets.

“…Meanwhile, another study examined the effect of aluminum on a B20 cotton seed oil biodiesel and reported a 10% reduction in brake thermal efficiency and a 15% increase in brake-specific fuel consumption compared to conventional diesel. Furthermore, the presence of metal also increased the nitrogen oxide pollution of biodiesel by 16% (Puniyani et al 2019 ). A comprehensive study of the effect that several transition metals and their metal oxides on biodiesel stability concluded that copper causes the fastest oxidation, while molybdenum and rhenium slower the oxidation process.…”

Fewer fossil fuel deposits, price volatility, and environmental concerns have intensified biofuel-based studies. Saccharification, gasification, and pyrolysis are some of the potential methods of producing carbohydrate-based fuels, while lipid extraction is the preferred method of producing biodiesel and green diesel. Over the years, multiple studies have attempted to identify an ideal catalyst as well as optimize the abovementioned methods to produce higher yields at a lower cost. Therefore, this present study comprehensively examined the factors affecting biodiesel stability. Firstly, isomerization, which is typically used to reduce unsaturated fatty acid content, was found to improve oxidative stability as well as maintain and improve cold flow properties. Meanwhile, polymers, surfactants, or small molecules with low melting points were found to improve the cold flow properties of biodiesel. Meanwhile, transesterification with an enzyme could be used to remove monoacylglycerols from oil feedstock. Furthermore, combining two natural antioxidants could potentially slow lipid oxidation if stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum are used as biodiesel storage materials. This present review also recommends combining green diesel and biodiesel to improve stability. Furthermore, green diesel can be co-produced at oil refineries that are more selective and have a limited supply of hydrogen. Lastly, next-generation farming should be examined to avoid competing interests in food and energy as well as to improve agricultural efficiency.

“…Nevertheless, the utilization of vegetable oil in diesel engines is sometimes hindered by its high viscosity and the existence of bigger droplets during the combustion process. As a result, a transesterification process was employed in the production of biodiesel with the objective of reducing the viscosity value 27,28,29,30,31) .…”

The increasing focus on alternative fuels, especially in internal combustion engines, responds to the growing interest in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and meeting domestic fuel demands. Crude palm oil (CPO) emerges as a viable vegetable oil alternative for diesel engines. This review delves into experimental tests involving biodiesel from waste cooking oil to assess its impact on engine performance and exhaust emissions. The study utilizes waste cooking oil biodiesel and B30 as a reference fuel. Experimental procedures involve testing biodiesel performance characteristics such as brake power (BP), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and brake torque (BT). The tests are conducted on a diesel engine coupled with a generator loaded with an incandescent lamp. Different load conditions ranging from 0.5 kW to 4.5 kW are employed. Results indicate that waste cooking oil biodiesel leads to lower BP, BT, and BTE by 1.68%, 1.7%, and 21%, respectively. Moreover, waste cooking oil biodiesel exhibits a 36% higher BSFC compared to B30. Notably, HC emissions and smoke opacity are reduced by 14.4% and 73%, respectively, with the use of waste cooking oil biodiesel. The lower calorific value, viscosity, and higher density of waste cooking oil biodiesel compared to B30 impact fuel combustion processes, influencing air-fuel mixture and combustion efficiency.
