Abstract

Biodiesel production from seed oils, animal fats, algae oil, sewage sludge, and domestic, industrial, and municipal wastes has become a valuable way of reducing waste materials and providing alternative friendly biofuel for vehicular and power engine applications. Safe disposal of municipal sewage sludge is a severe environmental problem everywhere because of the enormous amount produced and harmful substances. Municipal sewage sludge used as a source of lipids for biodiesel manufacturing has lately gained popularity. Using municipal waste for biodiesel production can drive sustainability for future biofuel generations. Extracting oil from municipal waste for biodiesel production requires a network of successive technologies that potentially reduce waste piles in landfills.
