Cotton Seed for Biodiesel: A Review

Pradnya K. Ingle, Vrushali Kanade

Abstract


The planet's ecology is being harmed by our dependency on fossil fuels to supply its rising need for energy. Finding green technologies that produce fewer greenhouse gases is urgently needed. Even though there are different types of fuel such as liquified petroleum gas, compressed natural gas, ethanol, methanol, etc. still there is a need for eco-friendly fuel. With fewer adverse environmental
consequences, biofuels have many benefits. Biodiesel derived from the transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fats with simple alcohol, has attached more and more attention recently. Large amounts of biowaste, including waste oils and edible, inedible, microbiological, and non-edible waste, are converted into biodiesel. This research assessed the overall viability of cutting-edge feedstocks for sustainable biodiesel synthesis, including their affordability and potential to replace a sizable number of fossil fuels. Oil crops, vegetable oils, and animal fats can be used to produce ethanol, a possible
sustainable carbon-neutral replacement to used petroleum fuels. Cotton seed was readily available among diverse feedstock, and environmental conditions such as temperature, rainfall, and soil are also favorable. The transesterification technique is used to produce biodiesel from cotton seed oil. The transesterification procedure was employed, which demonstrated that methanol is reversible. This review came to the conclusion that now the best method for producing environmental biofuel is through the utilization of third-generation feedstocks (wastes).
