Biodiesel production in Ethiopia: Current status and future
The feasibility and affordability of biodiesel production in Ethiopia mainly depend upon the value and price of the feedstocks [48]. The disadvantage of biodiesel production is often

A Review on Potential and Status of Biofuel Production in Ethiopia
Biofuels are produced from plant oils, animal fat and waste materials. The most common biofuel are ethanol and biodiesel. The biodiesel can be produced from different plants

Editorial: Plant Seed Oils and Their Potential for Biofuel Production
Biofuel Energy for Mitigation of Climate Change in Ethiopia
Biofuels are produced from plant oils, animal fat and waste materials. Developing countries including Ethiopia did not exploit their potential. Biofuel have also its own drawbacks
The chapter aims to address aspects related to the production of biodiesel in the world, reinforcing the potential of using oils from non-edible raw materials, established
- Which non-edible plants are used in biodiesel production in Ethiopia?
- In Ethiopia, several non-edible plant species have been identified for biodiesel production. Jatropha curcas L (J. curcas), Castor bean, Pongamia, Candlenut, and Croton seeds are among the predominant identified energy crops (Guta, 2012).
- What feedstocks are used in biodiesel production in Ethiopia?
- Some of the main feedstocks available in Ethiopia for biodiesel production include jatropha, castor bean, palm oil, croton macrostachyus, Moringa stenopetala, neem (margosa), sugarcane, animal fat, waste cooking oil, and Microalgeal. Jatropha Curcas is a perennial plant with a 30- to 50-year life span.
- What makes Ethiopia unique in biofuel development?
- When it comes to biofuel development, Ethiopia is unique in two ways. Initially, the biofuels sector is described by a wide range of biofuels feedstocks (Jatropha, castor, palm oil, and sugarcane, including native trees). Bioethanol is produced using molasses, a byproduct, whereas biodiesel is produced using jatropha, castor bean, palm, and others.
- Does Ethiopia support biodiesel production?
- Support for public policy. Ethiopia lacks policies to support local biodiesel production, such as financial and fiscal incentives and support for biodiesel fuel blenders. The promise of biofuels to address local energy demands has not yet been fully realized.
- How to maximize the yield of biodiesel in Ethiopia?
- To maximize the yield of biodiesel, the best crop types associated with the respective factors such as soil, climate, etc. must identify through research in the future. Moreover, Ethiopia has huge potential for biodiesel resources but the awareness creation of the stakeholder, management, interest in using biodiesel, etc. still less.
- Are Ethiopian curcas suitable for biodiesel production?
- The present study was conducted to investigate the potential and suitability of Ethiopian variety J. curcas for biodiesel production. J. curcas grown across different regions of Ethiopia were characterized for seed, seed coat, kernel, and oil weight proportions.
