“…Cetane number and higher heating value increase because of the higher molecular weight and all of these properties will decrease as the number of double bonds increases including unsaturated fatty acid [22]. Higher cetane numbers has better ignition properties [23]. In contrast, fuels with lower cetane numbers tend to increase particulate exhaust emissions and gaseous because of incomplete combustion [22].…”

Abstract-The present study introduced the potential used of Garcinia Mangostana Linn. seeds as feedstock for bio-diesel production. The preparation of biodiesel by two-phase solvent extraction (TSE) and alkali-catalyzed transesterification was studied. The important factors including catalyst concentration, ratio of methanol to oil and temperature on conversion FAME were examined respectively by experiments. The results of two-step transesterification showed that the optimal conversion of Garcinia Mangostana Linn. seeds into fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) were at condition of 4:1 methanol/oil volume ratio, 50 o C reaction temperature, 0.5% ( catalyst / oil weight ratio w/w) solid base catalyst amount and at 5 minutes reaction time.

“…Glycerine is then removed as by product and esters are known as biodiesel.Biodiese1 is produced by chemically reacting a vegetable oil or animal fat with an alcohol, an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Alcohols are the most frequently used acyl acceptors, in particular, the methanol and, to a lesser extent, ethanol [9]. Biodiesel, also known as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), with the addition of methanol is produced from transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats [lo].…”

Abstract. Biofuels based on vegetable oils offer the advantage being a sustainable and environmentally attractive alternative to conventional petroleum based fuel. The key issue in using vegetable oil-based fuels is oxidation stability, stoichiometric point, bio-fuel composition, antioxidants on the degradation and much oxygen with comparing to diesel gas oil. This provides a critical review of current understanding of main factor in storage method which affecting the biodiesel properties and characteristics. In the quest for fulfill the industry specifications standard; the fuel should be stored i n a clean, dry and dark environment. Water and sediment contamination are basically housekeeping issues for biodiesel. Degradation by oxidation yields products that may compromise fuel properties, impair fuel quality and engine performance. The effect of storage method on the fuel properties and burning process in biodiesel fuel combustion will strongly affects the exhaust emissions. IntroductionBurning fossil fuels such as coal, diesel and gas produces greenhouse gases give impacts on the environment. A range of greenhouse gases were produced when fossil fuels are burned, these gases include carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane and nitrous oxides. These gases trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere, it concentrate and increase the heat of the sun where it works quite similar to the lens in a magnifying glass. This is called the greenhouse effect.Studies have found that first-generation biofuels produced from current feedstock's using the most efficient systems and carbon releases results in emission reductions in the range of 20-60 per cent relative to fossil fuels. Generally, biofuels offer many priorities, including sustainability, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, regional development, social structure and agriculture and securi-

“…France is the country which uses 50% of bio-diesel mixed with diesel fuel (Murugesan et al, 2014). Many other forms of biofuels such as biomethanol (Yusuf et al, 2011), syngas (Munasinghe and Khanal, 2010), biochar (Clarke and Preto, 2011), and bio-hydrogen (Mckinlay et al, 2014) are also emerging as biofuel alternative.…”

Increasing human population demands more fuel supply causing the release of hazardous greenhouse gases that could be compensated by supplementing with renewable and environment-friendly alternatives such as biofuels. The argument against the use of food crops for biofuel production that it may cause food shortages can be countered by using feedstock outside the human food chain. This opens up the possibility of using halophytes, algae and photosynthetic bacteria as sources of the carbon neutral biofuel which can be produced sustainably without compromising conventional agriculture. In this review we assess the suitability of these non-food resources as bio-fuel alternates.
