, biodiesel from vegetable oil will receive more attention. But the edible feedstock as the obvious cheapest choice will not be … sustainable enough for the increasing energy and food demand; hence, there is a need for guaranteed feedstock. This study was … therefore undertaken to explore feedstock that would not be suitable for food but useful for biodiesel in Africa. Among the …
