PRODUCTION OF BIODIESEL FROM NATURAL ALGAE

Due to its advantages for the environment and utilization of renewable resources, biodiesel has recently gained in popularity. The globe is continuously modernizing and industrializing. As a result, the number of vehicles and engines is rising. However, the energy sources utilized in these engines are finite and steadily dwindling. The need for an alternative fuel for diesel engines results from this circumstance. Another fuel option for diesel engines is biodiesel. Biodiesel is made from the esters of animal and vegetable fats. In this essay, the potential for producing biodiesel from algae oil was covered. Algae are often small organisms that are considered of as basic aquatic plants because they lack leaves, roots, and stems. They also reproduce similarly to primates. Both freshwater and oceanic waters include aquatic algae. The size of these organisms ranges from enormous kelp (meters in length) to those scarcely detectable under a microscope. The size, shape, and growth form of algae vary widely. With various species, the algae contain 2-65% oil. The well-known transesterification technique was used in this study to turn the oil into biodiesel
