Abstract
The rising energy needs resulting from increased claim and diminishing supply, alternative energy sources are receiving more attention. In addition, the increasing global concern has caused to focus on the oxygenated diesel fuels because of the environmental pollution from internal combustion engines. Vegetable oils possess almost the same heat values as that of diesel fuel with inherently high viscosity. Vegetable oil is easily available, renewable fuel with short carbon cycle period and is environment friendly. These are the triggering factors for research all over the world to consider vegetable oils and their derivatives as alternative to petroleum diesel. Researchers experimented that vegetable oil fuelled engine power output and fuel consumption are comparable to diesel when fuelled with vegetable oil and its blends and produce less carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbon (HC), and particulate emissions compared to mineral diesel fuel but higher NOx emissions than that of pure diesel fuel. This paper reviews the various production techniques, properties of vegetable oil and its biodiesel along with the challenges faced and experiments carried out by various researchers around the world.
