“…The result for 2008 was 1,380 t of fat (Toscano et al, 2011). Assuming conversion efficiency of fat into biodiesel it is stated in 95% (Bhatti et al, 2008), it was estimated that the potential for producing biodiesel in 2008 was 1,311,000 L. In addition to the residues presented previously, Baja California has oil crops, which represent potential raw material for biodiesel production.…”

“…Regarding the utilization of animal fats as a feedstock for biodiesel production in Mexico, additional research on the different elements of the production chain is required. Toscano et al recently estimated the potential generation of biodiesel from meat industry residues in the State of Baja California, Mexico. However, a national inventory of animal fat generation is necessary to assess this potential source of raw material for the future biodiesel industry.…”

The purpose of this research was to perform a preliminary inventory of the waste fat generated from beef cattle and fowl in Mexico that could be used for biodiesel production. Additionally, the CO 2 emissions reduction that could be achieved by using the potential biodiesel to replace an energy-equivalent amount of fossil diesel was assessed. Based on national reports for the year 2014, it was estimated that the non-edible fat from beef cattle and fowl annually generated in Mexico is sufficient to produce 216.0 kt of biodiesel, which would furnish 8379 TJ. This amount is equivalent to 1.5% of the energy annually consumed in Mexico as fossil diesel for road transport. The potential 216.0 kt of animal fat-based biodiesel that can be produced annually could replace 198.3 kt of fossil diesel and thus allow a reduction in the WTW (well to wheels) emissions of 592.3 kt CO 2 , which represents 1.5% of the WTW CO2 emitted from the combustion of the fossil diesel used for road transportation in Mexico in the year 2014.

“…Currently, biodiesel plants in Chiapas, Nuevo León and Michoacán are out of operation, however, Mexico continues to develop technologies in research centers and universities, for the production of biodiesel in higher yields [15,16]. Several feedstocks including algae and other catalysts such as enzymes are being investigated.…”

“…Besides the use of WVO, biodiesel from castor oil and inedible oilseeds from Mexicali Valley has been obtained. Subsequently, there have been developed research projects on topics related to the inventory of residual feedstocks to produce biodiesel, the performance of internal combustion engines operating with diesel-biodiesel blends, as well as the study of the behavior of materials exposed to diesel, biodiesel and mixtures of both [6,15,16,[19][20][21]. Research focused on the production of biodiesel via enzymatic has been conducted as well [22][23][24][25].…”
