Production of biodiesel from Sterculia feotida L.
Production of biodiesel from non-edible vegetable oils is an effective way to conquer the linked problems with edible oils such as food versus fuel and other environmental impacts. Sterculia feotida L. is one of these possible non-edible feedstocks for future biodiesel production. This paper examines the potential of producing biodiesel from sterculia feotida L. The oil has been and extracted from Cilacap and Kebumen forest, Indonesia. The physical and chemical properties of biodiesel produced from this plant such as cetane index, flash point, caloric value, kinematic viscosity, etc have been measured and compared with the international biodiesel standards. After analyzing these properties, it has been found that there is a huge chance to produce biodiesel from this plant which complies with the limits of ASTM 6751 and EN 14214 specifications and therefore it can boost the future production of biodiesel from non-edible sources.
