KK8 : Noor Shazleen Sharfadeen, Chew Li Wen, Mohd Faredzuan Sudin

Introduction

What is biomass?

• Biological material derived

from living or recently living

organisms. Eg : wood and

waste materials.

• Utilized as feedstock for fuel.

• Mainly composed of carbon,

hydrogen and oxygen.

Procedure

Results

Conclusion

• Used vegetable cooking oil was

successfully made into biodiesel fuel.

• Mixture of Palm Oil, Peanut Oil and

Sesame Oil is best to be converted into

biodiesel.

• Biodiesel is significantly a more greener

choice than diesel
