Dear Maria
First of all... All the best for progress in Waste to Energy concept.
I think straight usage of waste cooking oil is not possible due to following reasons like 1. suspended particles, 2. lower calorific value but compromising kinematic viscosity as per biofuel std.
I think you can think of using pyrolysis type for fuel extraction rather than transesterification process. FYKI you can also refer my publication based on waste cooking oil methyl ester by tranesterification and investigation in Direct Injection Diesel Engine in Biofuel (Taylor and Francis Publication).
This is one of my idea to extract the best oil in best possible method.
For any other information related to this pls fell free to contact,
Thanks and Regards
V.K
Dear Maria,
waste cooking oil (after filtration) is a good source for soap production, biodiesel and straightforward in engines.

works nice with diesel engines build until about 2005, to what I remember
