A number of critical factors influence the competitiveness of any biodiesel, including feedstock availability, production
costs, byproducts produced, and government subsidies. In this situation, a cost-effective and environmentally acceptable
supply of biodiesel is required. When compared to other non-edible oil sources, algal oil is a significant emerging non-edible
biodiesel source. The current study includes tests on pure diesel and its three algae oil blends. When the properties of the
biodiesel made from the oils were tested, the results were within the acceptable limits. The engine test results show that,
aside from NOX emissions, biodiesel blends emit very little carbon when compared to diesel. When biodiesel blends were
used, the engine required more fuel. The results of the performance tests revealed that the biodiesel blends had better and
more complete combustion. This research shows that biodiesel blends of up to 20 % can be a better substitute for pure diesel
fuel and can be used in CI engines without modification.
