Abstract: To explore the potential of gutter oil as novel fuel in tobacco curing, we summarized the utilization status of novel fuels, the properties of illegal cooking oil and the notes of using illegal cooking oil in tobacco curing. The results showed that novel fuels used in tobacco curing had some deficiencies such as severe pollution and low calorific value. Gutter oil, characterized by low price, abuandance and high calorific value, has great potential as fuel for tobacco curing. Further purification of gutter oil and revamp of combustion apparatus should be researched, for providing references in cost reduction and pollution control in tobacco curing.
