Abstract

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that represents a real alternative to fo ssil fuels. The presen t work offers a comparative study of biodiese l production from two types of non-edible o il, jatropha and karanja, in a one-step batch process in supercritical methanol and in the absence of catalyst. Th e results show that a maximum FAME yield of over 99 % is achieved at 32 5 ºC when jatropha is used as oil source, wh ile karanja oil poses some limitations with a maximum FAME yield of below 82 %. Th ese differences can be explained by the composition of the oils used.
