TLDR
In this article, the authors reviewed the research and developmental progress on insect fat, especially the possibility of insect fat as potential feedstock of biodiesel, and then the residual after extraction can be used as protein feedstuff.Abstract:
Biodiesel is one promising approach to reduce the consumption of petroleum. However, biodiesel economy has been hampered by the production of oilseed plants. Therefore, alternative feedstocks are urgently needed to enable biodiesel production from cheaper materials. Insect recourse which is rated as the most diverse animal group is rich and ubiquitous in the world. Insect could convert organic waste into insect fat which was further extracted as a novel feedstock for biodiesel production, and then the residual after extraction can be used as protein feedstuff. This paper reviewed the research and developmental progress on insect fat, especially the possibility of insect fat as potential feedstock of biodiesel.read more

Biodiesel: Environmental Friendly Alternative to Petrodiesel
TL;DR: Biodiesel is a renewable, efficient, environmentally friendly and biodegradable fuel made from vegetable oil, including waste cooking oil as discussed by the authors, which can be blended with conventional petrodiesel in any proportion (even 1% biodiesel will increase engine lubrication by 65%).

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
