Biopetrol synthesized from rubber seed's fatty acid using fuller's earth as catalyst

Ever since it was known that fossil fuel are finite, scientists has been looking for alternative energy to replace fossil fuel. Biopetrol mostly derived from vegetable oils and hence it can be categories as a renewable fuel. However the usage of vegetable oil for biopetrol will put a pressure onto t...
