Abstract
The escalating demand for renewable energy sources has driven significant interest in the utilization of agricultural residues for biodiesel production. Green coconut waste, comprising husks, shells, and coir, presents a promising feedstock due to its abundance and lignocellulosic composition. This paper explores the potential of green coconut waste as a substrate for biodiesel production, focusing on the extraction of oil from coconut kernel and the conversion of lignocellulosic husk material into bioethanol. The study examines various pretreatment methods, catalyst development, and reaction parameters to optimize biodiesel yield and fuel properties. Additionally, the paper discusses the environmental implications, economic feasibility, and potential applications of the produced biodiesel.
