Abstract: A fuel is described comprising a material containing cellulose or hemicellulose as well as of fats and/or oils stemming from secondary or cascade utilization or containing these, wherein the fats and oils are obtained by processing waste and recycling materials.

Abstract: A method for producing starting materials or additives for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and/or hydrocarbon-based fuels, especially for heating systems or internal combustion engines, takes organic residues or waste materials and decontaminates or sterilizes them with a hydrogenation process. In particular, the materials classified as K1, K2 or K3 according to EU Directive 1774/2002 are used for generating or producing the cited starting materials or additives, whereby an adequate decontamination of the residues or waste materials that are classified as being hazardous to health is ensured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing candles comprised of a starting material that contains, at least in part, fats and/or oils. Optional additives such as colorants are admixed to the starting material, and the starting material, in a liquid phase, is sprayed onto a cooling medium (10) whereby being transformed into a solid phase and, during a pressing process, is subsequently pressed to form a pressed article and is optionally milled. According to the invention, the starting material solely contains oils and/or fats that are hardened and, on the cooling medium (10), are transformed into an essentially homogenous, crystalline, preferably granular crystalline structure.
