Abstract

Using of crop-based foliage (edible oils) to produce sustainable energy increases the volume of lowcarbon fuels, but detriments hunger in developing countries by pushing up global food prices and
endangering local food security. In present work the authors investigated the possibility of an economic
absolute and additive fuel package by pragmatic fuel synthesis from mixed feed stock of non-edible
Argemone mexicana oil and recycled grease, with improved combustible properties by a strategic novel
transesterification method, supplemented by fatty acid composition test, a susceptible engine performance,
declining hazardous emissions to well below than that of petroleum diesel. The effects of mixed feedstock
bio diesel in absolute and additive mode was ensured by rigorous engine test inferring 10 to 20% blend
with petroleum diesel can be fuelled to commercial diesel engines without any adulteration or engine
modification in engine hardware system.
