Focusing on biodiesel as a sustainable alternative to petroleum diesel, this dissertation explores the production from non-edible oils like Used Cooking Oil, Cottonseed oil, Jatropha oil, and Neem oil. Employing a two-step transesterification process, it highlights the effectiveness of acid-alkaline catalysis over enzyme-catalyzed methods, achieving higher biodiesel yields. The study addresses challenges in enzyme use, such as cost and efficiency, while demonstrating the potential of these renewable resources for biodiesel production.
