Abstract

In the contemporary era, the world is grappling with the challenges posed by the excessive consumption of fossil fuels and the degradation of the environment. The quest for an alternative fuel source that aligns harmoniously with sustainable development, energy preservation, efficiency, and environmental protection has gained paramount importance. This issue is particularly salient in our modern lives. The physical and chemical attributes of vegetable oil closely resemble those of mineral diesel. Consequently, vegetable oil has emerged as a viable substitute for diesel. However, it's worth noting that unrestricted utilization of vegetable oils can lead to a range of engine-related complications. To address this, the process of trans-esterification has demonstrated its efficacy as a productive method to refine vegetable oil for use as fuel. This study focuses on conducting a comprehensive review of existing literature to assess the viability of pumpkin seed oil and its biodiesel as a feasible alternative to traditional diesel.
