The production of biodiesel has the potentiality to generate new employment opportunity for
developing country. Moreover, biodiesel has some technical advantages. Biodiesel gives more clean combustion
than petroleum diesel. It possesses high cetane number. The cetane number is a measurement of the combustion
quality of diesel fuel during compression ignition. So the flammability of biodiesel is better than that of diesel
oil. Biodiesel can be transported safely due to its high flash point. Biodiesel acts as a better lubricant and
detergent than petroleum diesel. Table 2 shows comparison of different properties of diesel and biodiesel [59,
60].
