The present study intends to examine the production of biodiesel from neem oil with a view to determine its performance in Internal Combustion engine (I.C. engine) (I.C. engine). The biodiesel's physicochemical properties were also investigated. Every day, the world becomes more modern and industrialised. As a result, the number of vehicles and engines is growing. However, the energy sources utilised in these engines are finite and diminishing with time. This situation necessitates the use of biodiesel as a diesel engine alternative fuel. Biodiesel is a non-toxic, biodegradable, and renewable alternative fuel that can be used in diesel engines with just a few modifications. Low-cost Neem seed oils could be used to make biodiesel. The performance and testing of biodiesel is carried out in a C.I. engine. Solvent extraction was used to extract neem oil from neem seeds. The refractive index, density, viscosity, ash content, Saphonification value, and iodine number were all investigated. Esterification and transesterification were used to make biodiesel from NEEM oil. Physical and chemical properties, as well as chemical properties, were investigated. The researchers looked at HC, CO, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter. The energy of biodiesel fuel was converted to work at the same rate as diesel fuel. The studies also show that engines running on biodiesel and mixes emit up to 20% more NOx than engines running on gasoline. When compared to diesel fuel, the emissions of the CI engine running on neat biodiesel (B100) were reduced by up to 15%, 40%, and 30% for CO, CO2, and THC emissions, respectively, at various operating conditions. Lower HC, CO, and particle emissions have been associated to biodiesel. This is most likely due to biodiesel's ten percent oxygen content, which aids in the oxidation of these combustion products in the cylinder.
