Abstract

The study evaluated the biodiesel quality of two local seaweed species, Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma sp., in terms of density, viscosity, flash point, and combustion efficiency. Biodiesel samples were produced and tested under an alternative laboratory setup, with measurements taken across three replicates. K. alvarezii biodiesel exhibited a density of 0.88 g/cm³, viscosity of 4.80 cSt, flash point of 131°C, and combustion efficiency of 98.40%, while Eucheuma sp. biodiesel showed a density of 0.88 g/cm³, viscosity of 5.02 cSt, flash point of 0.88°C, and combustion efficiency of 98.00%. Comparisons with commercial diesel, which had a density of 0.85 g/cm³, viscosity of 3.50 cSt, flash point of 60°C, and combustion efficiency of 99.00%, revealed statistically significant differences in all parameters (p
