Sewage into Biodiesel

Green Car Congress covers results of Korean research into conversion of Sewage Sludge into Biodiesel:

Researchers develop new non-catalytic process for converting lipids from sewage sludge to biodiesel; high yield and economic production

Highlights:

  • Much higher yields than algal (algae) oil or any conventional feedstock, such as soybean oil
  • No catalyst necessary (KOH, NaOH)
  • High (> 98%) conversion rate
  • Flow process, so conversion happens in 1 minute or less
  • Low cost: 3 cents / liter or 11 cents / gallon
