The role of antioxidants in improving biodiesel's oxidative stability, poor cold flow properties, and the effects of the duo on engine performance: A review

Global competitiveness thrives on meeting energy demand, and the need to counter the effects of environmental threads dispatched by the combustion of fossil fuels became the driving forces that upended the renewed commitment and growing interest in renewables. Alternatively, green energy provides a...
