Rape-seed biodiesel is an interesting option to address the problem of decreasing availability of conventional fossil … standard diesel fuel and on three different blends of rape-seed biodiesel (20%-50%-100%). Performance, emissions and in …-cylinder pressure traces were measured at full load. It was found that the influence of rape-seed biodiesel in the fuel blend is not …

Oil-accumulating microalgae have the potential to enable large-scale biodiesel production without competing for arable … commercial production of microalgal oil-derived biodiesel. However, under optimal growth conditions, large amounts of algal … for the production of biodiesel. …

advantages of microalgae biodiesel, high density cultivation of microalgae, high-lipid content microalgae selection and metabolic … biodiesel and future perspective of the technologies are also discussed. …

Over the past few decades, biodiesel produced from oilseed crops and animal fat is receiving much attention as a … renewable and sustainable alternative for automobile engine fuels, and particularly petroleum diesel. However, current biodiesel … identify and develop sustainable biodiesel feedstocks which overcome the disadvantages of current ones. On the other hand …

Biodiesel is obtained by the process of transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats and crude glycerol is the … main by-product of the biodiesel manufacturing chain. As a result glycerol production has rapidly increased in the last … decades. This work focuses on the development and the validation of a process to convert biodiesel-derived glycerol into a …

Biodiesel production from palm oil and hydrated ethanol in a fixed bed reactor using CaO/Al₂O₃ as … the preliminary study. The resultant biodiesel obtained under the optimal conditions (285 °C, 20 MPa, 30:1 ethanol … Biodiesel Standard (EN14214), and was found to comply with this International Standard. Moreover, ZnO/Al₂O<sub>3</sub …

Biodiesel has attracted a great deal attention recently as an alternative fuel due to increasing fuel prices and the … imperative to reduce emissions. Among a wide range of biodiesel resources, microalgae are a promising alternative fuel source …, therefore, there will be no impact on the human food supply chain. In this work, petroleum diesel (PD) and biodiesel from the …

generation biodiesel source due to high seed oil content, high fruit production rate, simple cultivation and ability to grow in a … potential of this biodiesel feedstock is still unrealized, and little research has been undertaken on it. In this study …, transesterification of beauty leaf oil to produce biodiesel has been investigated. A two-step biodiesel conversion method consisting of …

from a previous 4% from 2010. In 2012 the fuel blend reached 3%, with approximately 70 million L of biodiesel and 56 … Ireland for biodiesel was 2.3% and for bioethanol was 3.7% which equates to approximately 37.5 million L of biofuel for the … microalgae (for biodiesel) and macroalgae (for bioethanol) could meet this shortfall for indigenous Irish production.
