“…Besides the increment in H 2 concentration, glycerol also increased the concentration of light hydrocarbons in Syngas. A mixture 1:1 or 3:1 of crude glycerol and corn straw produced a twofold increment in C4 and C5 hydrocarbons compared with corn straw pyrolysis (Delgado et al 2013).…”

Biodiesel, one of the most important sources of renewable energy, is produced in large quantities around the world; however, its production generates different kinds of residues and by-products which raise economic and environmental concerns. This review presents a compilation of the data on current state of transformation of residues and by-products of biodiesel industry into products that are suitable for bio-refining. The review has analyzed glycerol, biodiesel washing wastewaters, and solid residues. The technologies were described and the most significant experimental results and variables were summarized to allow researchers an easy access to this information.

“…Crude glycerol and corn straw blends [66] Waste Biomass Valor increase was observed for conversion to H 2 which was attributed to the higher hydrogen content in glycerol. Wei et al [70] carried out experiments of co-gasification of waste glycerol with wood chips in a pilot scale, fixed bed gasifier and noticed that increasing glycerol concentration in the mixture, up to 20 wt%, increased CO concentration on the produced gas, as well as tar yield.…”

Crude glycerol is the principal by-product of biodiesel industry, accounting for 10 wt% of biodiesel production. As the production of biodiesel grows, the environmental and sustainable valorization of crude glycerol becomes an imperative task which affects directly the biodiesel production cost. The present study focuses on covalorization of crude glycerol with conventional and/or renewable resources. The use of pyrolysis and gasification, as waste management practices, closing the loop in energy and agriculture, by using the extracted oil for biodiesel production and the remaining residual biomass for combined heat and power generation, has great potential in a circular economy. The paper is of scientific interest as it investigates the valorization of glycerol waste streams produced from small-scale biodiesel plants, targeting to an effective management solution of the above streams in countries such as Greece, where a chemical biorefinery is not viable due to small availability of glycerol supply. Results have shown that co-valorization of crude glycerol with waste biomass fulfilling the energetic needs of the biodiesel plant within the boundaries of the company, can contribute in decreasing the cost of biodiesel production, while providing a rather short-term solution to the existing environmental problem of waste glycerol.
