Abstract
Being an alternative source of energy, biodiesel is produced from different sources of triglyceride, mainly from vegetable oil. With the increase in the cost of biodiesel production, this study identifies bio-waste materials such as agricultural waste, waste cooking oil, waste animal fats, microbial waste and industrial bio-waste as suitable, affordable and sustainable feedstock for biodiesel production. Conversion of bio-waste to biodiesel meets two major needs, which are production of clean energy and environmental waste reduction, which may be viewed as a waste-to-wealth approach. The purview of law and legislation around the world has seen a drastic development and improvement on support for biodiesel sustenance though many of it is just on paper, which requires immediate implementation of policy to grow biodiesel production. There is need to develop a reward system for the use of bio-waste for biodiesel production as this remains a promising resource for the growth of biodiesel.
