Production, Characterization and Performance of Biodiesel as an Alternative Fuel in Diesel Engines – A Review

Due to the finite stock of fossil fuels and its negative impact on the environment, many countries across the world are now leaning toward renewable sources energies like solar energy, wind energy, biofuel, hydropower, geothermal and ocean energy to ensure energy for the countries development securi...
