“…Ethical concerns about diversion of crops from the human food chain to fuel production have spurred the search for inedible crop oils and waste fats for use as a biofuel feedstock. Inedible oilseeds, such as jatropha, castor, and other indigenous crops that can grow on marginal land have emerged as potential candidates. However, the cost of land, labor and freshwater resources often make large‐scale production uneconomical when set against the yields obtained.…”

Fossil-fuel processing and consumption contaminates air, soil, and water resources through the release of hazardous chemicals. The harnessing of renewable energy resources and development of sustainable technologies have become prime targets of research and increased investment to protect the environment. The use of bio-based feedstocks in energy production provides a valuable pollutioncurbing pathway with sustainability credentials, especially when wastewater is used to provide the nutrient requirements. The filamentous cyanobacterium Trichormus variabilis has attracted substantial attention from researchers due to its potential for dual industrial functions in bioenergy production and bioremediation. This species can use the power of sunlight energy efficiently to fix atmospheric CO 2 and to generate valuable chemical compounds, such as carbohydrates and fatty acids, which can be converted to biofuels. As it grows in nutrient-rich wastewater (industrial effluent) it can serve as a bioabsorbant and replace costly chemical catalysts and nano-materials traditionally used for the removal of nutrients and metals. However, no recent review has presented the potential for state-of-the-art T. variabilisdriven phycoremediation-bioenergy production systems. This review suggests possible routes from phycoremediation to energy production as a strategy for developing the industrial application of T. variabilis. It brings important research results on this species together and highlights major related challenges and opportunities. It explores the current status of the use of algae in bioremediation and the production of liquid and gaseous fuels utilizing wild-type and mutants of T. variabilis. Finally, key points underlying the potential for future research on optimization of robust technologies for supplying sustainable bioenergy using this organism are presented.

“…In their study, they produced biodiesel from norouzak oil using ultrasound‐assisted intensified transesterification reaction and measured the physicochemical properties of the resulting product. They found that norouzak oil could meet the requirements of the EN‐14214 biodiesel standard successfully . The physicochemical properties of norouzak oil are tabulated in Table .…”

The reduction in crude oil resources, its volatile prices, and the irreparable environmental pollution caused by their production and consumption have led to worrying global challenges. At the same time, ever‐increasing population growth and growing industrialization have resulted in an increasing demand for petroleum‐based crude oil products, including lubricants. In this respect, the proper management of biomass to produce higher value‐added products such as biolubricants is very important. Iran, with a population of more than 80 million, is the fourth largest producer of crude oil and one of the largest lubricant producers in the region, but the development of clean bio‐based lubricants has always been neglected there, mostly due to the abundance of petroleum. The present study, reviewing the status of Iran's lubricant industry and its technical and environmental challenges, investigates the potential use of conventional edible oils and introduces novel drought‐resistant native edible oil sources, for the production of biolubricants. It is believed that this case study could be of assistance to researchers and specialists in developing countries, enabling them to take action to confront the challenges ahead by relying on sustainable development based on renewable and environmentally friendly products. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

“…Most researches have been carried out on producing biodiesel from edible sources or sources that require high water and fertile soil for cultivation [7]. Since almost 80% of edible oils in Iran are obtained through imports, it is not justifiable to use the sources of edible oils for biodiesel production [8].…”

“…Since almost 80% of edible oils in Iran are obtained through imports, it is not justifiable to use the sources of edible oils for biodiesel production [8]. In addition, semi-desert with salty soil and arid climate has the most potential for exploitation in Iran [7]. Thus, it is necessary to use sources that are compatible with Iran's climate and have little water requirement.…”

Effective design of biodiesel supply chain network can reduce many of its high production costs. There are various uncertain parameters in real world that if ignored may greatly affect the optimal configuration of the designed biodiesel supply chain. Scenario planning is a powerful tool which can help the decision makers for long-term planning under uncertainties. Therefore, in this paper, a scenario-based robust optimization model is presented for designing the biodiesel supply chain networks under uncertainties. Some of the parameters including demand, supply, costs, and environmental impacts have uncertain nature. For the first time, in this study, the values of these uncertain parameters are estimated by a proposed scenario-planning method. The presented scenario-planning approach is based on cross-impact analysis and visualization methods. Non-edible sources such as Jatropha, Norouzak, and waste cooking oil are considered as raw materials of biodiesel production, and for the first time Norouzak has been used as one of the sources in designing biodiesel supply chain. In addition, an environmental constraint is considered and the environmental impacts of all processes are obtained by Eco-indicator 99 method. The presented model can determine the number, location, and capacity of the facilities. The proposed model is implemented in a real case study in Iran for a 7-year planning horizon. The results show the effectiveness of the presented approach in designing the biodiesel supply chain networks under uncertainties.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
