Waste cooking oils (WCOs) are generated globally in significant amounts by various sectors including hospitality, households, and industrial operations. Many nations currently lack dedicated legislation for managing WCOs, creating a pressing environmental challenge. At present, WCOs primarily utilized industries as raw materials biodiesel production energy generation. However, their role second-generation is contingent on availability, often necessitating imports of either or from other countries. The European Union has emphasized the importance prioritizing biowaste high-value alternative products beyond to achieve carbon neutrality 2050. reviews have been published literature reporting potential WCO applications produce biolubricants, biosolvents, animal feed, asphalt additives, among others, however, no detailed analysis trends ever presented. Within this panorama, unlike existing that focus specific polymer classes derived work sought present comprehensive overview use polymeric fuel energy, providing general patents (or alive) last 10 years, together with which innovative being introduced sold market today.
