dc.description.abstractThis paper assessed the technical and economic viability of biodiesel production from Second-generation feedstocks native to East Africa, which included Castor, Croton, and Jatropha. Their oils were converted to biodiesel by transesterification and characterizations of B100 and B10 done following ASTM D6751. ASPEN Plus V11 was used in process simulation and profitability analysis. Oil yields obtained ranged from 29.5% to 35.6%. B100 and B10 properties conformed to ASTM D6751. The negative Net Present Values obtained render B100 and B10 production uneconomical unless incentivized. Sensitivity analyses showed that NPV varied with feedstock cost and biodiesel selling prices. This assessment established that though a B10 policy based on second-generation feedstocks is technically viable, interventions are needed to make it profitable in Uganda.en_US
