Abstract

The research emphasizes that Biodiesel can be made from used vegetable oil. Samples were collected from different street food shops around Khulna city, Bangladesh. Vegetable oil (soybean oil, palm oil and super oil) that was used for cooking purpose for several times was collected as samples. It was found that biodiesel can actually be produced and in a good quantity. From the research it was found that among soybean oil, palm oil and super oil best biodiesel is produced from soybean oil.
