UTILIZATION OF OILY WASTES RESULTED FROM SOME FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES IN BIODIESEL PRODUCTION

Abstract

Increasing concern with environmental pollution due to the combustion of conventional fossil fuels is receiving great attention towards the development of sustainable alternative energy sources. Additionally, fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy, but a potential source of pollutants which causes global warming and change in the climate pattern. Alternative renewable energy options can be considered as a helpful solution to overcome the limitation of fossil fuels, as a result of increasing in energy demand so fossil fuel consumption increase as well. To fulfil the energy demand, biofuels are one of the most potential options among currently available renewable energy sources. Biodiesel production is considered as one of the potential options among existing biofuels production technologies due to its renewable nature, low toxicity and has a low environmental impact rather than that for the petroleum-based diesel.
