“…Depending on the operating requirements, pyrolysis process is often split into three types: instant pyrolysis, rapid pyrolysis, and traditional pyrolysis. Several kinds of research have been conducted on the pyrolysis process for the production of biodiesel from edible and nonedible vegetable oils [73].…”

Oil demand has risen steadily due to the growing industrialization and modernization of the world. In addition to rising costs, the supply of fossil fuels is also declining. These and many other concerns couple with food shortages have drawn attention of scientists to a substitute fuel that is generated from feedstocks that can be renewed. Biodiesel as an alternative fuel with a lot of expectations is produced using edible grown conventional vegetable oils such as sunflower, rapeseed, palm, and soybean. The production of biodiesel from edible oils has, meanwhile, worsened the existing competitiveness of oil used for food and fuel. Emphasis on using nonedible feedstock is currently guided by research to discover more potential nonedible feedstock such as croton. Differences between perceptions and facts about these nonedible oils necessitate efforts to diversify feedstocks into sources that can warrant the production of energy without impacting on the security of food. Croton is a multipurpose evergreen plant that is nonedible and is commonly present and cultivated under environmental and socio-economic conditions, which are complex in nature. This plant, referred to as a golden tree, has various uses including fuels, medicinal, ornamentals, dyes, feed, enriching of soil, and afforestation. This research was therefore carried out to investigate the multipurpose use croton. Among the highlighted areas include croton (feedstock) used for biodiesel, the necessity for croton seed oil and its value chain, the process for the modifying croton oil to biodiesel, factors that influence the production of biodiesel, the application of croton biodiesel in engines for efficiency and emission characteristics, and prospects for croton biodiesel.

“…One exception is with use as fish feed; Alexander et al did not identify any toxicity in fishes . In recent years, Mahua seedcake has been used as a feedstock for pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion. ,− Gupta et al reported that detoxified Mahua seedcake showed significantly better results compared to the raw cake in biogas production, although utilization of raw cake for biogas was still a reasonably effective application.…”

The cost of feedstock is often a major barrier to commercialization for lignocellulosic biofuels. Much of the research on biofuel and biobased chemical production has focused on the carbohydrate, lignin, and lipid components of biomass. There are numerous opportunities for the use of lower-cost feedstocks if more attention were devoted to the recovery and utilization of the protein and other N-containing components. This review compiles data from the last two decades on nonedible/ nonpalatable agricultural residues, deoiled seedcakes, bioethanol and biogas residues, and food wastes, with a focus on the amounts and types of N-containing components. Given the challenges of removing N-containing compounds from biofuel intermediates postconversion, a case is made for the extraction and purification of proteins (and other N-containing compounds) from low-cost lignocellulosic biomass before conversion to fuel. The goal of such processes is to avoid difficult fuel upgrading steps while enhancing the opportunities for additional biorefinery products and sustainable nitrogen cycles.

“…Pyrolysis is one of the most practical thermochemical processes for transforming biomass into valuable synthetic fuels, which can be used as a source of energy. Literature reports the thermal degradation studies of different categories of biomass feedstock such as bark, 1,2 wood, 3,4 agricultural wastes/residues, 5,6 nuts and seeds, 7,8 algae, 9,10 grasses, 11 forestry residues, 12,13 cellulose and lignin, 14 and miscellaneous for bio oil production 15 . The important outcome of the above reported works are summarized as follows.…”

This work reports the possible conversion of beeswax to fuel oil through pyrolysis to produce an alternate and renewable fuel. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the thermal decomposition of beehive wax and pure beeswax is evaluated using a thermogravimetric analyser under non‐isothermal condition at different heating rates of 05, 10, 20°C/min in the temperature range from 30 to 600°C in nitrogen atmosphere. The first order model fitting method (Coats–Redfern method) is applied on the thermogravimetric analysis data of the samples to calculate the kinetic parameters including activation energy and pre‐exponential factor, and thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change, entropy change, and free energy change of the reaction. The activation energy values were 80.8 and 79.7 kJ/mol of beehive wax and pure beeswax, respectively. Higher heating rate affected not only the temperature of maximum weight loss, but also the apparent activation energy. The enthalpy change and entropy change of the process is found to be in the range of 7 × 104 J/mol and −1.5 × 102 J K−1 mol−1, respectively, which infers the reaction to be endothermic and non‐spontaneous. The samples are subjected to thermal degradation in a semi‐batch reactor at different temperature from 400 to 500°C, with a maximum oil yield of 55.60% at 450°C. The oil product obtained are found to be hydrocarbon rich (88%)with few oxygenated components. The product distribution and composition is found to be significantly affected by the temperature.
