Description
Summary:Increased use of renewable energy sources today is a relevant topic in transport sector, which is responsible for 84% of total CO2 emission. Therefore, there is a tendency to use biodiesel as an alternative fuel, with its physicochemical properties similar to diesel fuel which during combustion in diesel engines emits much smaller amount of harmful gases into the environment. Advantages of using biodiesel are multiple, which is why countries of the European Union tend to use it more. To reduce the price of biodiesel, which would have a positive impact on increasing its use, this paper considered the possibility of using waste edible oil as raw material for biodiesel production in the Banat region. Highlighted are ecological, energy and economic benefits of using waste edible oil as a resource for production of biodiesel, as well as its disadvantages.
