Comparison of Biodiesel Properties Produced from Moringa oleifera Seeds Oil and Palm Oil

Biodiesel possess a great potential to help in reducing the dependence on non-renewable fuel which will run out in a near future. Moreover, problems regarding environmental pollution caused from the combustion of fossil fuel and volatile price of this valuable energy had escalated the research and d...
