Abstract

Ethiopia has a large biomass of water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes) in Lake Koka and LakeTana during the summer season. Local community of Lake Koka doesn’t use this water hyacinth. So the activity is designed to produce biodiesel from water hyacinth and determine its quality parameters. This should be based on the concept of produce renewable energy and discard water hyacinth from the lake. The Specific gravity (g/ml), Acid value (mgKOH/g), Water content (mg/g), kinematic Viscosity (mm²/sec) and ash% (w/v) content of water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes) biodiesel were 0.912, 0.4, 0.004, 2.7 and 0.001 respectively. The Nutrient analysis of water hyacinth from Lake Kokawas takes place in NFLARC laboratory to evaluate for biodiesel purpose. The proximate composition of water hyacinth from Lake Kokawas moisture content % (w/w) 76.2 ± 0.1, lipid content % (w/v) 0.49 ± 0.23%, crude protein % (w/w) 10.23 ± 0.34%, ash content % (w/w) 9.5 ± 0.02%, carbohydrate % (w/w) 3.58 ± 0.6%, and gross energy (kcal/100g) 59.65 ± 0.53%. From the study it can be conclude that the parameters of biodiesel get from water hyacinth is fulfill the requirement set by American and European biodiesel standards. The problem is that the oil content of water hyacinth is too much low and can’t economically visible to produce biodieselfrom water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes).
