“…In order for vegetable oil to be feasible as fuel, it is necessary to reduce its viscosity close to that of diesel fuel. In addition to transesterification, some methods to reduce the viscosity of vegetable oils are dilution, microemulsion, pyrolysis and catalytic cracking [10,12].…”

“…In recent years, many initiatives for the production of oilseed-based biofuels (SVO or biodiesel) have emerged in West African countries, with the support of governments or through regional initiatives [20]. In this context, many perennial oil crops, especially Jatropha curcas, have been planted and large quantities of SVO are set to be produced in the coming years [21][22][23][24][25][26]. The most widespread scheme adopted by project promoters is the local production of oilseeds and their conversion into SVO by village-scale extraction units or decentralized cooperative mills, to fuel local stationary diesel engines [10,11,27].…”
