Biodiesel is an alternative energy source used in internal combustion engines (ICE), as a replacement for diesel oil. In general, the farming and livestock activities can be used to obtain biomass sources for bioenergy production. Several raw materials (fatty acids sources) obtained from...

Due to the energy crisis caused by the progressive depletion of fossil fuel sources, the search for alternative fuels from renewable sources is in growing demand. Therefore, the manufacturing of biodiesel from fish waste might help the environment as an alternative for the reduction of residues...

This paper presents a methodology for sizing and simulating an autonomous photovoltaic-wind hybrid energy system with battery storage, using simulation tools and linear programming. The developed model is useful for energizing remote rural areas and produces a system with minimum cost and high...

The generation of electric energy distributed throughout Brazil′s rural area contributes in the supply and logistics of energy production all over the country. This work aimed to analyze biogas production from swine waste and the generation of electric energy using biogas as primary source....

The ceaseless search for renewable sources of energy puts biodiesel as a great alternative to replace oil-based fuels. This work aimed to assess the specific consumption of fuel, thermal efficiency and emission of exhaust gases when crambe biodiesel and diesel oil are used in a diesel-cycle...
