Abstract :
Oils upgraded from trap greases were characterized to evaluate their possibility of replacing fossil fuel in terms of impurity content. The heating values of the oils were measured to clarify the input energy required for the upgrading process. The cost and GHG emissions for the present grease-to-oil process were estimated by using a logistic model.
