The present work for the production of biodiesel from fresh water green algae Oedogoniumcapillare. The algae oil obtained from Oedogoniumcapillare was 38% from dry biomass algae by using h-hexane as solvent extractor, the algae oil was converted into biodiesel and the percentage yield of the biodiesel obtained from the Oedogoniumcapillare oil was 80% in the course of research. The biodiesel was almost neutral, natural in nature because the pH was 7.1 Oedogoniumcapillare can serve as the high source of energy and considerable amount of biodiesel can be produced. environmental concern has increased significantly in the world over the past decade. A constant demand of motor and power generation fuel rising worldwide together with environmental concern has made us to turn on towards alternative fuels than fossil fuels which can be reduced total CO2 emission. Oedogoniumcapillare can produce biodiesel which is biodegradable in nature and produced less NOx emission. Increasing in the number of populations, standard of living, advantage technology and economics growth across the world has caused energy depletion. Algae have high potential as an alternative source therefore, lipids-secreting micro algae are favorable alternative for the production of biofuel as a renewable energy.
