To remedy this, it is pertinent to focus on energy sources that are environmentally friendly. This study highlights the potential of biodiesel production in Africa with a focus on non-edible sources. The sources, emission characteristics, oil content, percentage yield and properties of these samples are stated. These sources do not compete with food so there is no contention of “food versus fuel”. The study clearly highlights the advantages of biodiesel such as high cetane number and flash point; less toxicity; renewable; and biodegradable amongst others. Techniques for enhancing the cold flow properties of biodiesel are stated. Policies and laws that support biodiesel production were discussed. The key factors that should be incorporated in every biofuel policy or legislation was recommended. Biodiesel utilization is in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 7 “clean and affordable energy”. The study also presents potentials, benefits, challenges, and solution of biodiesel production and utilization in Africa which gives a picture of its socio-economic implications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101196,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143177731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its efficiency to inhibit corrosion is enhanced on increasing of concentration and the efficiency attains the maximum of 97.8 % at 10<sup>−3</sup> mol L<sup>−1</sup>. The change in value of E<sub>corr</sub> less than 85 mV indicates that PAN behaves as a mixed type inhibitor. The mitigation has been thus caused by the development of a protective film by adsorbing PAN on MS. The adsorption process is best suited to Langmuir’s isotherm.
