The utilization of energy has risen to 12 billion tons/year due to the ever-increasing population and urbanization which has directly led to more energy demand. Therefore, there is an obvious need for an alternative source of fuel energy. One of the best alternatives is the use of renewable fuel energy. Fatty acids methyl esters (biodiesel) is a source
