Co-Processing of Waste Cooking Oil and Hemp-Shives for an Intensified Production of Advanced Biodiesel

Short Introductive summary

This study presents a novel co-processing approach to enhance biodiesel quality by integrating waste cooking oil (WCO) with hemp shives through ethanolysis using aluminium triflate as a catalyst. Optimised conditions yielded high biodiesel and ethyl levulinate outputs, improving oxidative stability and cold flow properties. The approach demonstrates a sustainable, value-added method for producing advanced biodiesel using agricultural and food industry waste.
