Abstract

Abstract: As a renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic fuel, biodiesel has attracted a lot of attention during the past century. It is a methyl ester of a fatty acid made from triglycerides by the methanol transesterification process. Due to the alarming rise in automobile ownership over the past year, there is now more focus on finding alternatives to diesel fuel as both demand and costs for petroleum goods have increased. The majority of biodiesel is currently made from refined or oil seeds using an alkaline catalyst and methanol. Large quantities of oil and fat, however, cannot be ingested. However, it is realistic to use a lot of nonedible oil and fat in our nation. Neem oil is utilized in this study as an alternate fuel to create biodiesel. By combining high-free fatty acid (FFA) oil with the best methanol and H2SO4 acid catalyst properties, biodiesel is created utilizing this process using methanol and KOH catalyst
