  • Can rubber seed oil produce biodiesel?
  • The physicochemical properties of the rubber seed oil indicate its potential for production of biodiesel, and it was found to be an efficient biodiesel resource that meets the ASTM and EN standards for biodiesel [7, 22].
  • Are rubber trees a reliable source of oil for biodiesel?
  • Hence, the widespread production of rubber trees has culminated in an increase in seed production, and these seeds can serve as a reliable source of oil feedstock for the manufacture of biodiesel. High seed oil content: Rubber seed oil is known to comprise 50¨C60 wt% of oil content (Khazaai et al., 2017).
  • What is the economic analysis for biodiesel production from rubber seed oil?
  • However, a recent investigation by Trirahayu et al. (Trirahayu et al., 2022) used the Aspen Process Economic Analyzer (APEA) to perform the economic analysis for biodiesel generation from rubber seed oil. The authors estimate the annual revenue and expense of the biodiesel production process.
  • Is unutilized rubber seed oil a promising feedstock for biodiesel production?
  • Area percentage of RSO to biodiesel was calculated and interpreted with the help of peak integration software GC solution (Shimadzu cooperation). Unutilized rubber seed oil seems to be a promising feedstock for producing biodiesel by dint of its low cost and its role in enhancing the economy of rubber farmers.
  • Can rubber seed oil produce biodiesel by lipase-mediated transesterification?
  • In this study, we have tested and employed the locally available rubber seed oil to produce biodiesel by lipase-mediated transesterification. Lipase was secreted from Pseudomonas aeruginosa BUP2, a novel bacterial isolate.
  • Is rubber seed oil a sustainable source of biodiesel for Sub-Saharan Africa?
  • Rubber seed oil is a sustainable and affordable source of biodiesel for sub-Saharan Africa development. Plantain peels that are in abundance in sub-Saharan Africa is a source of base catalyst for the transesterification of rubber seed oil. This is no regulatory framework and bioenergy policy in sub-Saharan Africa on the use of waste rubber seeds.
