Implication

Energy analysis reveals a net gain in biodiesel production using waste cooking oil, suggesting economic viability for biofuels.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze the energy and economic feasibility of biodiesel production from edible and waste cooking oils.
  • Conducted energy balance and economic analysis of biodiesel production
  • Studied homogeneous catalyst (KOH) and heterogeneous catalyst (CaO)
  • Calculated energy input/output and benefit-to-cost ratio
  • Found net energy gain of 8.64 MJ per liter of biodiesel produced
  • Achieved energy use efficiency greater than 1
  • Reported benefit-to-cost ratio of 2.60
