A Value Chain and Life Cycle Assessment Approach to Identify Technological Innovation Opportunities in Algae Biodiesel
Global warming and the growing demand for energy and water have spurred efforts to identify carbon neutral transportation fuels. Microalgae are the only lipid-rich biomass capable of offsetting a significant portion of fossil fuel use [...]
Hydrocarbon production via biomass pyrolysis and hydrodeoxygenation
Bio-oils produced from pyrolysis of biomass are chemically complex compounds. As fuels they have a number of negative properties such as high acidity, water content, variable viscosity and heating values about half that of diesel [...]
Transesterification by Reactive distillation for characterisation and synthesis of Biodiesel
The awareness in alternative fuels has increased dramatically in recent years due to the rising cost and the environmental concerns related to fossil fuels use. Biodiesel represents a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective fuel produced [...]
Non Bacterial Way for Production of Biofuel for Jet Engines
Production of a biofuel for jet engines is a priority research topic. Construction of similar chemical composition as that of the existing jet fuels is of absolute requirement. A similar production technique of producing the [...]
Reburning of Cattle Biomass with Coals for Emissions Control
Biomass fuels can subdivided into two classes: agricultural (AgB) and Animal waste (AnB). The AnB includes cattle manure or cattle biomass (CB), Poultry Litter or poultry biomass (PB), Hog biomass (HB) etc. Since the chemical [...]
Improvement of Hydrogen Production by Immobilized Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 Using Reverse Micelles as Microreactor
Within the process of photobiological hydrogen production, purple non-sulfur (PNS) bacteria are an interesting subject of study because of their high substrate conversion efficiencies and their capability of using a wide variety of substrates either [...]
A review: Comprehensive comparison of corn-based and cellulosic-based ethanol as biofuel sources
This study reviewed literature on corn and cellulosic ethanol for their potential to replace petroleum fuels. Metrics include: energy yield, cropland requirements, and pollution reduction. The key findings are that an agreement exists among the [...]
Operating Conditions of Binary Mixtures of Biomass Wastes in Spouted Bed Contactors for Using Energy
Due to the increasing costs of fossil fuels, interest has grown in the use of renewable energy. Spouted bed technology is suitable for the thermal treatment of biomass by combustion and by pyrolysis. Therefore, it [...]
Renewable Energy Strategies for non-RPS States
Oral presentation. Renewable energy can succeed in non-RPS states. Second generation renewable fuels offer a viable market beachhead for the introduction and development of renewable energy businesses in non-RPS states, particularly the Southeastern United States. [...]
Non bacterial way of production of alcohols and biofuel
Biofuel which is currently being produced through a variety of bacterial uses can be replaced by a much more faster and economical process of production which involves production in laboratory with ot using metabolism. This [...]
