Methyl ester of karanja oil as an alternative renewable source energy
P. K. Srivastava,Madhumita Verma +1 more
TLDR
Methyl ester of karanja oil from Jharkhand region has been prepared by transesterification method as mentioned in this paper, and the maximum thermal efficiency of methyl ester has been determined and found to be slightly less than that of the diesel.About:

Progress and recent trends in biodiesel fuels
TL;DR: The most important variables affecting methyl ester yield during the transesterification reaction are the molar ratio of alcohol to vegetable oil and the reaction temperature as discussed by the authors, which is the commonly used alcohol in this process, due to its low cost.

Non-edible vegetable oils: A critical evaluation of oil extraction, fatty acid compositions, biodiesel production, characteristics, engine performance and emissions production
Abdulaziz Atabani,Arridina Susan Silitonga,Hwai Chyuan Ong,Teuku Meurah Indra Mahlia,Haji Hassan Masjuki,Irfan Anjum Badruddin,H. Fayaz +6 more
TL;DR: The use of non-edible plant oils is very significant because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food source as mentioned in this paper, however, edible oils’ feedstock costs are far expensive to be used as fuel.

Some aspects of biodiesel oxidative stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss some factors influencing biodiesel oxidative stability and their interaction and propose approaches to improving this property of biodiesel are related to these factors and the corresponding mechanisms, including the deliberate addition of antioxidants or modification of the fatty ester profile.
