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.

Potential alternatives to edible oils for biodiesel production - A review of current work
TL;DR: The use of non-edible plant oils when compared with edible oils is very significant in developing countries because of the tremendous demand for edible oils as food, and they are far too expensive to be used as fuel at present as mentioned in this paper.
