Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of crude oil resources have led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. On the other hand, waste engine oils pose a very serious environment challenge because of their disposal problems all over the world. In this context, waste oils are currently receiving renewed interest. In recent years, depleting fossil fuel sources, growing demand and cost of petroleum based fuels, and environmental hazards as a result of burning of them have encouraged researchers to investigate possibility of using alternative fuels instead of the fossil fuels. Therefore, the researchers have focused on finding alternative new energy resources and utilizing them. They have stated that it is necessary to reduce consumption of the petroleum fuels due to the negative effects on human life by producing alternative renewable fuels. As fossil energy sources have been exhausting rapidly nowadays, it is predicted that fossil fuel sources will not last for long. Therefore, scientists and researchers all over the world are now working hard to discover new sources of energy for the future, and also trying to develop new technologies that allow recycling or reusing waste material as a source of energy. Many research works addressed the utilization of waste oils by converting it to diesel and gasoline-like fuels so that it can be used in diesel and gasoline engine applications as a source of energy. This paper gives a brief review about converting waste engine oil to diesel and gasoline range fractions by cracking it in presence of cobalt acetate. It can also be established that the cracking process offers an exciting way to recover both the energetic and chemical value of the waste engine oil by generating potentially useful cracking products suitable for future reuse. The results obtained from the experimental studies on a cracked product are discussed.
