Production Of Bio Diesel Oil From Algae In Coastal Area Of Balochistan Pakistan

Bashir Ahmed Leghari, Syed Ali Raza Shah, Wazir Muhammad Leghari, Abdullah Mengal, Mohammad Mushtaque.::Transportation is the backbone of our society, powering the economies of the world every day. The Transportation network is responsible for a large amount of the hazardous emissions causing global warming and air pollution problems worldwide. Bio-diesel is one of the most important suitable oil to eliminate greenhouse gases emissions and alternative of the fossil fuels. The demand of energy is increasing on day-to-day basis, because enhancement in industrialization and population. Bio-diesel (mono-alkyl-esters) is the substitutive fuel, which obtained through the process of transesterification of monohydric alcohols with triglyceride oil. Bio-diesel oil obtained from the renewable sources of fuel having no properties of degradable and toxic. The waste cooking oil, such as sunflower, canola, soybean, coconut, corn oil, fish oil, rice bran, chicken fat, and algae can be used for preparation of Bio diesel, by adopted this process, the dependency on petroleum-based fuel decreased partially. This paper will focus on production of bio diesel oil from algae (micro algae and macro-algae) having higher efficiency of photosynthetic process by the other biomass products. The algae are best sources for the production bio-diesel, and having best yielding stock for bio-diesel. The macro algae is available in abundant in the form of seaweed at coastal area of Balochistan which extends over 750 kms. The micro algae cultivated near the beach of coastal area either in wet land (ponds) or in saline lagoons. It will provide main source of income to the people of coastal area inhabitants and consequently, it will provide good opportunity to the Govt. in order to reduce the rate of unemployment within Balochistan. The national bio-diesel project can be launched in the coastal area, taking the stakeholders in confidences. It will play an important role in alleviation the rate of poverty among the people of Balochistan. Secondly, it will save the fertile land of other provinces, which are more suitable for cultivation of food commodities instead of fuel producing species; otherwise, it will adversely affect the economy of the country, due to the shortage of food commodities. The pollution in air as well as in aquatic life of marine will reduced. It will produce the best result, by adopting of Bio-diesel fuel in Transport sector.
