    A team in South Korea developed a new process to convert sewage sludge into biodiesel that reduces extraction costs to as low as $0.03 per liter. The process uses heat rather than catalysis to extract lipids from sewage sludge. This overcomes issues faced by traditional catalytic processes, where impurities in sewage sludge interfere with catalysis and lower biodiesel yields. The new method provides an efficient way to convert sewage sludge into a usable fuel.

    South Korea team converts sewage sludge to biodiesel


    Jim Lane

    In South Korea, a team at the Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology has developed a process to
    convert sewage sludge into biodiesel, which they say reduces the extraction cost for lipids to as low as $0.03 per
    liter. The team utilized a heat-based, rather than catalysis-based process for extraction, to overcome the problems
    associated with impurities in the feedstock causing interference with catalysis, which had resulted in lower yields
    from the traditional process.
