Biodiesel: Tomorrow’s Fuel, Today’s SolutionExperimental methods:• Synthesize FAMEs(transesterification)• Extract FAME mixture • Analyze pdt mixture    (IR & 1H‐NMR spectroscopy)Conclusion:• We have been successful in making biodiesel mixtures• We are now studying the  properties of these mixtures• We will study combustion energy, viscosity, and cloud point of biodiesel mixtures• Biodiesel has much potential as an alternative to diesel fuel• Biodiesel is cleaner burning than diesel fuelRoberto J.
