Life Cycle Assessment Studies of Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) Biodiesel Production Processed by In-situ Transesterification Method

In situ transesterification is a biodiesel production method that utilizes the original lipid-bearing agricultural products instead of purified oil as the source of triglycerides for direct transesterification. This method will eliminate the costly extraction process and reduce the long production system associated with pre-extracted oil and maximize alkyl ester yield. In this paper the production…
