Abstract

The global transport directly or indirectly depends upon petroleum and its product. As per the consumption, these petroleum products will be extinct within the upcoming 100 years. The attention of researchers is to develop some other energy sources that can preserve conventional energy sources. Neem blend with diesel and ethanol blends with diesel were investigated earlier but least work has been experimented on blends of both biodiesel together (neem + ethanol) with diesel. In the past few decades, majority of fossil fuels and conventional sources of energy are utilized at a very rapid rate. Burning of fossil fuel have led to the many environmental problems such as increasing the amount of CO 2 , depletion of ozone layer, greenhouse effect, etc. Therefore fossil fuel is directly responsible for causing the rise of temperature of earth and many more health related problems such as asthma, lung disease and many skin problems. Therefore biodiesel should be utilized to decrease the atmospheric pollutions. Nowadays ethanol biodiesel is using in some countries as an alternate fuel for vehicles. In India there is vast variety of feedstock’s such as bagasse, sugarcane, grains, wheat, cassava, sunflower, sugar beet etc. from which ethanol biodiesel can be produced.
