Fruit peel as heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production

Scarcity in fuel from fossil fuel has led to exploration of potential substitutes from renewable sources. Identified as clear renewable energy to replace current fuel, biodiesel has been acknowledged to be more environmentally friendly in comparison to diesel from petroleum. This paper reports on th...
