Ceiba pentandra, Nigella sativa and their blend as prospective feedstocks for biodiesel

There are more than 350 oil-bearing crops identified as potential sources for biodiesel production around the globe. The wide range of available feedstocks for biodiesel production represents one of the most significant factors for producing biodiesel. The current research work is carried out on fue...
