The rapid depletion of diesel fuel, increasing energy demand, and environmental pollution concerns are increasing worldwide interest in the production of liquid biofuels. Biofuel (bio-aviation and biodiesel) is a potential and plausible alternative to diesel fuel to substantially mitigate the environmental impact of future energy demand. Non-edible crop oil is viewed as a potential feedstock for liquid biofuel production owing to the massive demand for edible oil as a food source.However, the major limitation of utilizing non-edible crop oil for biodiesel production is the cost due to the high price of feedstocks and the limited supply of large-scale biodiesel production. Candlenut trees can grow in harsh and arid climates due to low moisture requirements. Therefore, candlenut can be cultivated in the most unused lands, particularly in developing countries along coasts and riverbanks and in deserts and other wastelands unsuitable for edible crops. Additionally, candlenut seed contains a high amount of oil (30%-60%). Thus, candlenut oil is a promising source for commercial biodiesel production. The present study was conducted to review the possibilities and challenges of utilizing candlenut as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. Additionally, several important aspects related to candlenut oil processing, such as extraction technology, physicochemical properties, biodiesel production technologies, and advantages and limitations of candlenut biodiesel production are discussed.

In the recent past, there has been a renewed shift into biomass and other recycled waste sources for biodiesel production and utilization. This is a critical area of research and study in which this present work intends to review and identify gaps in literature by shifting the focus of review to non-plant based sources for biodiesel production. Traditional biodiesel feedstock sources have always presented a conflict of food security versus energy. This shift will be identified in literature to see if change to non-plant-based feedstocks sources has increased food security by discouraging the contribution of commercial farming for the production of biodiesel. This work will identify biodiesel families, generations, traditional and non-traditional feedstocks for biodiesel production. It will also discuss the non-edible biodiesel feedstocks sources in relation to waste to energy recovery. The other factor this work will review is to study how the use of non-plant based feedstocks such as municipal solid waste has improved environmental protection by reducing pollution and landfilling. In other words, this work will review the impact of Using waste municipal solid biomass resources such as waste tyres and waste plastics and changing them into energy sources. This review study aims at increasing environmental awareness, sustainability and reporting the progress made in waste to energy policy shift in many countries globally. This review will look at socio-economic opportunities in recycling besides the academic and research impacts of waste to energy policies adopted in many countries. The review will climax with a conclusion and future trends in waste to energy in relation to municipal solid waste resources.

“…Government policies should promote increased collection of WCO for biodiesel production. Hussain, Al Samad, and Janajreh () concluded that large‐scale production with sonication and no oil incentive was the most economically feasible and administratively beneficial model for the United Arab Emirates.…”

The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and increasing demands for diesel are considered to be important triggers for many of the initiatives that have been taken to search for possible sources for the production of biodiesel from materials available within the country. It is possible to produce biodiesel from waste/used cooking oils (WCO) that is comparable in quality to that of fresh vegetable oil. Not only does reuse of WCO, which can otherwise harm human health, reduce the burden on the government of treating oily wastewater, disposing of the waste, and maintaining public sewers, it also significantly lowers the production cost of biodiesel. In the process of frying, oil undergoes many reactions, leading to the formation of a number of undesirable compounds, such as polymers, free fatty acids, and many other chemicals. This poses challenges in the transesterification of WCO. This article covers different techniques in the production of biodiesel from WCO.It also compares combustion, emissions, and engine performance characteristics of biodiesel from WCO as well as factors affecting biodiesel production from WCO and its economic feasibility.
