Abstract

In recent times, climate change has significantly affected the world by creating devastating challenges like flooding, desert encroachment and unpredictable ecosystem in the globe and African continent like others have experience these issues. Fossil fuel combustion is proven to contribute to climate change however, biodiesel as a renewable and green energy identified as a factor in mitigating the problem has not been well developed by many African countries including Nigeria despite abundant availability of raw materials unlike US, China, Malaysia and Indonesia that have developed and improved biodiesel production industries. The emergence of Covid-19 pandemic have caused economic recessions globally therefore; this paper presents major issues affecting the development of Nigeria’s palm oil industry that significantly affects palm oil biodiesel production, suggest possible solution to the industry stagnation and finally, provide palm oil biodiesel production optimization strategies to cushion the negative economic impact of Covid-19 and simultaneously contributing to world’s green energy initiative.
