Environmental assessment of four waste cooking oil valorization pathways

Fabiana Frota de Albuquerque Landi et al.

Summary: Global waste is expected to significantly increase by 2050, making it crucial to develop effective waste management strategies. Food and green waste account for a significant portion of total waste production, highlighting the importance of processing and reusing materials such as waste cooking oil. This study compares various valorization pathways for waste cooking oil, including biodiesel and direct burning fuel, to their common alternatives, and assesses their environmental impact and energy consumption. The results show that waste cooking oil has lower environmental impact in most cases, particularly as direct burning fuel. However, obstacles such as limited stock and collection difficulties need to be addressed for its widespread usage.
