Biofuel from byproducts and organic waste extracted from residues of slaughterhouse & primary agriculture.
Daka ecoMotion’s business foundation is based on the production of biofuels based on by-products and organic waste. The production is based on animal fats extracted from residues from slaughterhouses and primary agriculture. Byproducts that can no longer be used for feed production. Professional order processing and flexible logistics solutions are part of ekoMotion’s goal of achieving and meeting the international market for biofuels.
The use of by-products for the production of biodiesel presents a number of challenges as opposed to the use of pure plant oils. The content of free fatty acids is significantly higher, which may lead to processing problems if these are not converted into fatty acid methyl esters before the conversion of the fatty substances. This means that the conversion process involves two stages: the first comprises an acid pre-estering using sulphuric acid as a catalyst and the second the re-estering of the fatty acids under alkaline conditions with the addition of an alkaline catalyst, typically potassium or sodium hydroxide. The use of animal fats also requires an improved final refining process since it contains a number of micro-components that may present a sediment problem unless they are removed. The biodiesel is therefore subjected to a final distillation process where fatty acid methyl esters are fractionated into light and heavy fractions. This stage also ensures a low sulphur content in the final biodiesel (<10 ppm). In addition to biodiesel, the production process results in glycerine and potassium sulphate
The global animal fat market reached a volume of 16.2 Kilo metric ton in 2022. Aided by the increased demand for animal fat in various applications, including food and beverages, personal care products, and biofuels, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% between 2023 and 2028, reaching a volume of 18.1 Kilo metric ton by 2028
