Abstract

At the moment, fossil fuels that are not renewable are used to provide the world's energy needs. Researchers worldwide have been motivated to look for renewable energies to replace fossil fuels in the future by the issues of these fuels' future unavailability, the volatility of crude oil prices, and its detrimental environmental effects. Because it shares so many characteristics with fossil diesel, in addition to being good lubricant, biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly when used in diesel engines, biodiesel has been highlighted as a good supplement and probable replacement of fossil diesel. According to studies, rubber seeds contain 35–45 weight percent oil, making them a stronger rival to other non-edible oil-bearing plants in the biodiesel synthesis process. As a result, the current study reviewed the most recent fuel qualities of rubber seed oil (RSO) biodiesel produced over the years as well as research investigations on how rubber seed oil biodiesel performed in diesel engines. Additionally highlighted were rubber seed oil extraction techniques, biodiesel production techniques, factors influencing the transesterification of RSO, and barriers to the transesterification of non-edible oils. The characteristics of rubber seed oil biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester), including its viscosity, flash point, calorific value, and cetane number, have been shown in numerous studies to be comparable to those of conventional petroleum diesel, making its use in internal combustion engines (ICEs) without any modifications possible. According to research on performance studies of engines using rubber seed oil biodiesel and their mixtures with petrodiesel, all of the RSO biodiesel tested had engine performance characteristics that are comparable to those of conventional engines that burn petrodiesel as fuel
