Summary/Abstract: Limited reserves of fossil fuels, as well as economic and environmental reasons, have caused an increasing demand for biofuels. Biodiesel, as an alternative to fossil fuel, is an increasingly common biofuel today, especially in the developed European market, and it is primarily produced from vegetable oils. The main obstacle to the greater use of biodiesel is the high cost of production due to the high price of edible vegetable oil. In addition, European countries do not have the ability to provide sufficient quantities of raw materials for the production of biodiesel, because the increase in the production of vegetable oils is limited by agronomic and climatic conditions. Therefore, we are looking for alternative raw materials, which will ensure economical production with the rationalization of operating costs, the greatest possible degree of energy independence and efficiency, and all this while implementing environmental protection measures, i.e. alternative raw materials are being sought, the application of which could ensure the sustainable production of biodiesel. One of the options for achieving that goal is the production of biodiesel from lipids left behind and collected after their use in restaurants and in the food industry, which are mostly discarded at the place of their creation. Biodiesel can also be produced from the by-products of the technological process of the production of edible vegetable oil, from oils and fats as secondary products of animal origin, from waste mineral oils, from lipids from sewage sludge, etc. The permanent availability and low price of these lipid materials, as well as the problem of their disposal in the environment, make them potential alternative raw materials for the production of biodiesel. Therefore, research was conducted on the possibility and development of biodiesel production from the aforementioned lipids and waste lipids, the results of which are presented in this scientific paper.
