jatropha, and waste cooking oil) and animal
fat, as is widely known. In addition, microalgae
oil can be the raw material to produce biodiesel
since microalgae has a higher oil yield per crop
area compared to other feedstocks [1]. Biodiesel
is biodegradable and non-toxic. In terms of
combustion, it has lower emissions of carbon
monoxide, sulfur oxide, and other pollutants
compared to petroleum-based diesel [2]. The
higher flash point (150๐C) of biodiesel means that
it is safer than petroleum diesel for storage,
transportation, and handling [3]. In addition,
biodiesel can be mixed with petroleum diesel
