MORINGA OLEIFERA BIODIESEL

Due to depletion of the world’s petroleum reserve, global warming and environmental concerns there is need for alternative energy sources to petroleum based fuels. The social and economic pillar of vision 2030 of the government of Kenya form the basis of producing an alternative source of fuel which will contribute to the economy of the country financially and socially. Due to global warming effects arising, this study investigated the production of biodiesel from Moringa Oleifera seeds to replace the current crude oil products that have higher carbon percentage than the biodiesel. Petro-diesel based fuels used in engines emit poisonous gases such as carbon (II) oxide, hydrogen carbon and a lot of smoke which are pollutants and lead to greenhouse effect. Petro-diesel based fuels on the other hand also are depleting due to increased demand in the market thus increase in price. However, biodiesel is clean and renewable thus considered best than petro-diesel. The most commonly used biodiesel is Jatropha Curcas of which previous studies have indicated that it produces toxic alkaloids from its root and hence harms other plants therefore it cannot be intercropped. Hence many people are shying away from planting Jatropha Curcas and hence interfering with the production of Jatropha plant. Therefore the specific objectives of this study were to provide an alternative source of biodiesel oil that is friendly and supports crop production; to intensify the use of Moringa Oleifera plant which has a lot of significance in the farm and to reduce dependence on foreign oil. The data was collected from Sengera town, in Gucha town, Kisii County, Kenya. This study analyzed data using tabular and graphical analysis. Where the work of other authors was used, due acknowledgement was done. Where the work of other authors was used, due acknowledgement was done. The researcher obtained a research permit from St Angela Sengera Girls’ High school and Kenya Science and Engineering Fair in order to enable collection of data. It was noted that many of the farmers were abandoning Jatropha Curcas farming because of the negative effects and adapting the planting of Moringa Oleifera because it is can be intercropped and has good fuel properties compared to Jatropha Curcas. This is indicated by a higher Cloud point of Moringa Oleifera, a higher flash point and a higher calorific value of Moringa Oleifera compared to Jatropha Curcas. With this innovation, the hypothesis has been proved by achieving the stated objectives. We recommend this project to institutions of higher learning and to the government research agencies for further research and improvement. All the future research adjustment to this project can be advised by relevant stake holders accordingly.
