Case studyBiodiesel feedstockTechnical analysisEconomic calculation

Jamali (Java, Madura, and Bali) power plants in Indonesia [101]Palm oil(i) Able to reduce cumulative emissions by 12.1% SO​1​2​1​ (3.2 Mton), 2.2% particulate matter (186.3 thousand tons), 0.6% CO (8.6 thousand tons), 0.2% (839 tons) volatile organic compounds, 0.1% NO​2​2​2​ (19 thousand tons), but there was an increase in CO​3​2 0.8% (49.6 million)(i) Save up to 32.5 billion USD on externality costs
(ii) Biodiesel production costs from waste oil are 0.42 USD/liter, while palm oil is 0.85 USD/liter
National Integrated Power Project (NIPP), Nigeria [102]Jatropha(i) Increased fuel consumption with less power loss (2%), generating efficiency (1%)(i) Produce levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) 0.279/kWh and 0.203 USD/kWh
(ii) The minimum PBI parameters are 0.082 USD/kWh for a 7-year Jatropha-FOP and 0.052 USD/kWh for a 9-year Jatropha-FCP
Power plant in Malaysia [103]Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum)(i) B20 produces optimal reduction with 972 kton/year for transportation applications and 1,057 kton/year for power generation.
Chicken-waste biodiesel-based power generation potential in Bangladesh [104]Chicken fat waste(i) With the simulation from the HOMER software, 492,695 liters of biodiesel can be produced annually from chicken skin and converted into electricity of 883 MWh/year.(i) The operating cost is 188,062 USD/year, and the energy production cost is 0.214 USD/kWh.
(ii) There was a reduction of 70.3% in greenhouse gases in the region.
The potential for biodiesel-based power generation in Brazil [105]Soybean oil, palm oil, used cooking oil(i) The increase in the specific fuel consumption is proportional to the increase in the concentration of biodiesel
(ii) The addition of 50% biodiesel mixture made the specific consumption value 4.9–8.7% higher than B4 and 2.7–4.3% higher than B20.
