  • Why do we need a large-scale biofuel production in Nigeria?
  • Dangerous environmental consequences and market unpredictability of fossil fuels have necessitated the need for sustainable large-scale production of biofuel in Nigeria. Unrefined palm oil (UPO) is a significant product of commercially available oil palm plants in the country.
  • Is palm olein a sustainable option for biodiesel production?
  • Palm olein can become a sustainable option for biodiesel production because it is a bye product of palm oil (Pannilawithana and Pathirana, 2017). Both unrefined palm oil (UPO) and palm kernel oil are primary oil sources from oil palm trees (Gourichon; 2013).
  • Can palm kernel oil be converted to biodiesel in Nigeria?
  • Many experimental works had earlier been conducted on converting palm kernel oil (PKO) to biodiesel within Nigeria (Akhabue and Ogogo, 2018; Aladetuyi et al., 2014; Alamu et al., 2007; Bello et al., 2015; Kareem et al., 2017; Tarbuka et al., 2017).

  • Can palm kernel oil be used to make biodiesel?

  • Can unrefined palm oil produce biodiesel?
  • Unrefined palm oil (UPO) is a significant product of commercially available oil palm plants in the country. This study experimentally investigates the production of biodiesel from refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) palm olein extracted from UPO obtained from batch reactors.
