    Homemade Biodiesel

    Uploaded by

    Amin Airish
    This science project involves producing biodiesel from vegetable oil through a process called trans-esterification. Methanol, sodium hydroxide, and vegetable oil are the key materials. The procedure involves mixing methanol and sodium hydroxide, heating the vegetable oil, and combining the mixtures to produce biodiesel and glycerin. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats that can be used in diesel engines and produces fewer emissions than petroleum-based diesel.

    INTRODUCTION
    BIODIESEL

     Biodiesel is a form of diesel fuel


    manufactured from vegetable oils, animal
    fats, or recycled restaurant greases.
     It is safe, biodegradable, and produces
    less air pollutants than petroleum-based
    diesel.

    vehicle with clean or used grease or
    vegetable oil that has not been
    converted to biodiesel. It will damage
