Overview

Observational analysis developed a strategy for used cooking oil waste management in Barranquilla, indicating significant potential for sustainable biodiesel production.

Key Points

  • Up to 902,108.56 kg of biodiesel could be produced from annual UCO generation.
  • Transesterification achieved conversion rates of up to 90%, highlighting its efficiency as a conversion method.
  • Mismanagement of UCO leads to environmental issues like water eutrophication and soil degradation.
  • This comprehensive strategy supports circular economy principles in biofuel production.
