Abstract
The importance of biodiesel and its production cannot be overemphasized; biodiesel has assumed a very prominent position in the energy development of both the developed and develo** nations. This is due probably to climate change and the fear of the depletion of the fossil fuel. Biodiesel being not only clean fuel but also obtained from renewable sources is believed to be a better alternative to the traditional petrodiesel. Thus, development geared toward the production and utilization of biodiesel will go a long way in conserving the ecosystem as well as serve as a source of income. This chapter therefore itemizes the protocol for production of biodiesel from plant material using base-catalyst transesterification reaction method.
