  • Is jatropha based biodiesel production possible in Nepal?
  • Studies on Jatropha based biodiesel production in Nepal have focused primarily on the economic analysis based on the jatropha seeds production and oil extraction without detailed technical analysis of the transesterification and the separation process ( Baral et al., 2020, Parajuli, 2014 ).
  • Why is the price of petroleum increasing in Nepal?
