Prospects of Synthetic Biodiesel Production from Various Bio-Wastes in Jordan

Abstract: The main objectives of this technical experiment are to quantify the amount of various bio-wastes available for the bioenergy development in Jordan and investigate the prospects of biodiesel potentials from such bio-wastes using catalytic depolymerization technology developed in the German company ALPHAKAT. The quantification process revealed substantial quantities of bio-wastes originated from various sectors such as dairy and poultry farms, by-products of wastewater treatment plants, and agriculture by-produ… Show more

“…On the other hand, the staggering high prices of fossil fuels accompanied by perplexing geopolitical conflicts threaten the economic and political stability of many oil-poor countries and threaten the livelihoods of vulnerable poor people. To that end, the endeavor toward utilizing local bio-wastes resources, particularly from otherwise landfilled biowastes resources, is fundamental to considerably reduce dependence on fossil fuels, boost economy, and a strategy to revitalize rural communities [2] [3].…”

“…Consequently, the Arab governments are urgently looking for innovative solutions to the critical issues around sustainable waste management. In this context, utilizing and fermenting the almostfree-to-take biowastes from small to large scale dairy cow farms is a win-win approach: it is economically attractive through valorization of wastes and providing part of the daily energy needs and environmentally friendly through reducing the harmful methane emissions and avoiding public health risks from the accumulation of wastes nearby residential areas [2] [4] [6].…”

“…Finally, a plausible range yield of asphalt-like residue is calculated by repeating the aforementioned analysis for two different feedstocks (olive cake and poultry manure) processed in the same CPD pilot plant for which experimental fuel yields are available. 11 The mass balance analysis reveals that, on a dry feedstock basis, the yield of CPD fuel from SRF-DW is 1.4 times higher than that of CPD fuel from SRF-MW. Likewise, the yield of CPD fuel is inversely proportional to the yield of asphalt-like residue for both, the studied and the cited cases as can be seen from Figure…”
