renewable energy production. Ethanol production from renewable woody biomass, which could be a substitute for gasoline, has seen … peer-reviewed literature. Results for forest-delivered ethanol were compared with those for petroleum gasoline using data … specific to the U.S. The analysis from a woody biomass feedstock supply perspective uncovered that ethanol production is more …

The rapid upward shift in ethanol demand has raised concerns about ethanol’s impact on the price level and volatility … in ethanol fuel and recent deflation. Market economics predicts not only a softening of demand to high commodity prices … but also a positive supply response. This volatility in ethanol and commodity prices are investigated using cointegration …

Ethanol is conventionally used as a blend with gasoline due to its similar properties, especially the octane number …. However, ethanol has also been explored and used as a diesel substitute. While a low-blend of ethanol with diesel is possible … with use of an emulsifier additive, a high-blend of ethanol with diesel may require major adjustment of compression …

The ester preparation involved a two … ethanol to oil (6:1 – 12:1), and the reaction temperature (35 – 90 °C) were studied for the conversion of sunflower oil to … reaction parameters. The optimal conditions for first stage transesterification were an ethanol/oil molar ratio of 12:1, NaOH …

A measurement program designed to evaluate health impacts or benefits of using ethanol blend petrol examined exhaust …% ethanol (E5) or 10% ethanol (E10). The resulting data were combined with inventory data for Sydney to determine the expected … fleet emissions for different uptakes of ethanol blended fuel. Fleet ethanol compatibility was estimated to be 60% for 2006 …

In the present work, an ethanol fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Gas Turbine (SOFC-GT) system has been parametrically analyzed … ethanol steam reforming. The hydrogen utilization factor values were kept between 0.7 and 1. The SOFC’s Current …
