Production and utilization aspects of waste cooking oil based biodiesel in Pakistan

Excessive fuel demand thrusts the Pakistani government to import large volumes of fuel from foreign sources, creating adverse effects on the country's economy. Therefore, exploring an alternative to fossil fuels is unavoidable. The option of environmentally friendly fuel like biodiesel produced...
