Energy crises, depletion of fossil fuel reservoirs, environmental pollution, global warming, green house effect and starvation are becoming very serious problems in the modern world. Biodiesel is a liquid fuel which can be the best alternative for the fossil fuels. In this study, non-edible rubber seed oil (RSO) with high free fatty acid (FFA) content (45%) was used for the production of biodiesel. The process comprises of two steps, in the first step acid esterification was used to reduce the FFA and in the second step base transesterification was employed to convert the treated oil into rubber seed oil methyl esters (RSOMEs). The conversion yield of biodiesel was analyzed using gas chromatography. The fuel properties were tested using the standard procedure of ASTM D6751 and EN14214. All the properties were within the ranges of the biodiesel standards. The result shows that rubber seed oil is a potential non-edible source for biodiesel production.

Hura Crepitans

Oil was extracted from the seed of Hura crepitans using hexane in a soxhlet extractor and analyzed for iodine value, saponification value and free fatty acid content. The dominant fatty acid in the oil was C18:2 (52.8±0.10%) while the iodine value was 120.10±0.70 g iodine/100 g. Biodiesel was produced from the oil using a two-step reaction system involving a first step of pretreatment via esterification reaction and a second step via transesterification reaction. The pretreatment step showed that free fatty acid in Hura crepitans seed oil can be reduced in a one-step pretreatment of esterification using H2SO4 as catalyst. The biodiesel produced from Hura crepitans seed oil had an acid value of 0.21±0.00 mg KOH/g, flash point of 152 ± 1.10°C, copper strip corrosion value of 1A, calorific value of 39.10±0.30 mJ/kg, cetane number of 45.62±0.30, and density of 0.86±0.02 g cm−3. The process gave a biodiesel yield of 98.70±0.40% with properties within the recommended values of EN 14214.

Jarak pagar (Jatropha curcas L.) merupakan salah satu komoditi perkebunan tropis yang memiliki potensi sebagai  pengganti bahan bakar minyak. Biji jarak pagar mengandung kadar minyak cukup tinggi dan sangat potensial sebagai bahan baku biodiesel.  Kegiatan penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan informasi tentang tingkat produksi biji, kualitas crude jatropha oil dan biodiesel  J.curcas Linn. sebagai sumber biofuels. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Kedung Pengaron Pasuruan dan Laboratorium Teknologi Minyak Nabati Universitas Muhammadiayh Malang. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok empat ulangan. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa genotip J.curcas berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap rerata jumlah buah per tanaman, jumlah biji per tanaman, berat kering biji per tanaman dan kadar minyak biji. Jumlah buah per tanaman dan berat kering biji per tanaman yang dihasilkan genotip JCUMM (JCUMM-5, JCUMM-6, JCUMM-7, JCUMM-18) lebih tinggi daripada kontrol IP3A dan IP3P. Jumlah biji per tanaman berkisar 91,3 (IP3P) hingga 236,6 (JCUMM-5). Berat  kering 100 biji dari berbagai genotip J.curcas berkisar antara 64,1 g (JCUMM-6) hingga 69,7 g (JCUMM-5) sedangkan kadar minyak biji berkisar antara 39,5% (JCUMM-6) hingga 57,7% (JCUMM-7). Hasil uji esterifikasi menunjukkan hasil Free Fatty Acid dari crude jatropha oil berkisar antara 0,2% (JCUMM-18) hingga 1,97% (IP3A). Seluruh genotip memiliki kadar FFA kurang dari 2% sehingga masih layak dipergunakan sebagai bahan biodiesel. Nilai bilangan asam yang diperoleh antara 2,9 mg-KOH/g (JCUMM-6) hingga 6,40 mg-KOH/g (IP3A). Sedangkan bilangan Iodine diperoleh hasil antara 94,5 g I2/100g (JCUMM-5) hingga 102,4 g I2/100g (JCUMM-6)
