This paper investigates some methods of neem (Azadirachta indica) seed oil extraction for the purpose of biodiesel production using transesterification. Four samples of threshed neem seed; 5kg each; were used for each method of oil extraction: the traditional method, the cold water method, the hot water method and the steam method using a designed screw press to that effect. For the traditional method, the quantity of neem seed oil/biodiesel obtained was 176.1cl/175.0cl. Using the designed screw press; neem seed oil/biodiesel obtained by cold water method was 361.4cl/210.5cl, 486.9 cl/ 237.0cl by hot water method and 548.1cl/ 300cl by steam method. The quantity of neem seed oil produced increased significantly after switching from traditional method to the use of the designed screw press; with the steam method of oil extraction being the most efficient. The biodiesel properties including flash point, fire point, density and calorific value were examined using ASTM standard methods. The results showed that the biodiesel produced using neem seed oil could contribute immensely towards the protection of the environment and reduce the dependence upon fossil fuels.
