India is second largest rice producing country and the estimated yield of crude rice bran oil (RBO) is about 400.000 tons of which only 50% is of edible grade, 50% of the total available rice bran oil is left unutilized due to presence of active lipase in bran and lack of economic stabilization methods most of the bran is used as animal feed or for industrial application. One of the best ways for the potential utilization of RBO is the production of biodiesel; also a very little research has been done to utilize this oil as a replacement for mineral diesel. In the present study, biodiesel has been prepared from Rice Bran oil by trans-esterification method meeting the acceptable quality standards and then used as fuel.
