Statement of the Problem
Globally, the Renewable Energy Network for 21st century (REN21) and other national strategies like the Nigerian Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP), National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEEP), Renewable Electricity Policy Guidelines (REPG) etc are geared towards arresting energy issues and environmental problems associated with burning fossil fuel before the year 2025. This has necessisated investigation on the possibility of using alternative sources of energy. The inability of various studied tropical feedstocks to meet the EU biofuel sustainability directive is threatening their viability as sources of alternative energy to petrodiesel. Few studies on the biofuel applications of Prunus amygdalus, Chrysophyllum albidium and Dyacrodes edulis were only focused on their potential application for biodiesel production (Giwa and Ogunbona, 2014, Ogunsuyi et al., 2015). Most studies on these feedstocks never established viable optimized routes for the biodiesel synthesis, engine performance-emission characteristics and kinetics of the oil transesterification process. This challenges their process scale-up, reactor design, simulation and control in both batch and continuous systems
