“…Srikanth et al 28 Ashis et al 29 Investigated the lipid accumulation probability of bacteria inaccessible from dairy industry waste scum for biodiesel production by the valorization of wastewater as a potential renewable feedstock. Based on the productivity property on a glucose-based medium and lipid accumulation (>20% lipid content), three oleaginous bacteria (i.e.…”

As dairy industries increase across Australia, the amount of dairy waste is also on the rise. Australia annually production stands at around 377 727 t of cheese, 273 425 t of milk powder and 92 698 t of butter, and it is the third largest exporter of milk. The waste produced by these industries is considered a potentially valuable resource, and an environmental pollutant if not appropriately managed. The focus of this review is to evaluate the potential of converting typical Australian dairy industry waste into sustainable energy. Five fundamental methods including transesterification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, steam reforming, and hydrothermal carbonization are discussed. Their technological merits, demerits and adaptability from the perspective of Australia are examined. The properties of representative wastes are also considered for the different energy conversion processes. This review aims to highlight the potential use of dairy industry wastes as feedstock for the emerging renewable energy sector.

“…The properties of biodiesel are generally defined by cold flow properties, cetane number, oxidation stability, viscosity, and density of fuel . Cold flow properties of fuel are determined by cloud point and cold filter plugging point which affect pumping and filtration capability of the fuel . Biodiesel, regardless of its sources, has generally higher cloud point in comparison with diesel .…”

Feedstock for biodiesel production has changed over time and it varies depending on regions. Reports and journal articles on biodiesel feedstock resources over the last decade from 2006 to 2016 were reviewed in this article. The regional trends still maintain as the USA and the EU still predominantly use soybean oil and rapeseed oil, respectively, and palm oil is the major source of biodiesel in Asia. It is expected that the food‐crop based biodiesel will continue to be dominant for the next decade. However, it was found that uses of animal fats and used cooking oil are increasing both in the USA and the EU. Because of the increasing diversity in feedstock inputs to biodiesel, it is necessary to better understand the effects of feedstock characteristics on engine performance and emissions. In this review, we limit the reports on biodiesel emissions to those who used 100% biodiesel combusted in a one‐cylinder, four‐stroke, direct injection engine set up in a laboratory. All the emission results were obtained from the same or similar engine conditions to fairly compare them. CO, CO2, NOx, and PM emissions are compared between the biodiesels derived from soybean oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, jatropha oil, used cooking oil, animal fats, and algal oil. It was found that more emission studies are needed for algal biodiesel. More in‐depth studies are necessary for PM characteristics including the compositions of trace metals, elemental and organic carbon. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 7–19, 2018

“…The properties of scum biodiesel are within ASTM standards thus it can be productively used in diesel engines [45]. Biodiesel properties like specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, calorific value, flash point are determined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and they are within ASTM standard limits hence dairy scum biodiesel can be used in the diesel engine [46,47].…”
