The present work deals about performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with biodiesel produced from underutilized, feedstock Gmelina arborea oil. The experiments were conducted using various blends (B10, B20, B30, and B40) of…
Rare earth modified SO42-/ZrO2 solid acid catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation and impregnation methods respectively. The properties of the samples were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. And their catalytic…
The word biofuel is here referred to as liquid or gas fuel mainly derived from biomass for the transport sector. There are many reasons why biofuels are viewed by both developed and industrialized countries as important technologies. These include…
For energy, the consumption of edible oil is necessary. With increasing human population, energy demands have also increased. Oil crops are rapidly growing and being consumed to meet energy needs. Rapeseed oil is the third largest oil crop globally.…
The need for energy and unrestricted use of fossil fuels has resulted in environmental pollution. This has opened a new front for the development of renewable fuels to focus on environmental sustainability. This chapter reports a comprehensive…
The current experimental study focuses on enhancing the characteristics and properties of bio-mix test fuel samples by using an additive such as n-butanol. Raw bio-mix fuel samples were prepared through a method of bio-mix to enhance the quality of…
The Albizzia julibrissin seed oil was studied for the first time as a promising unconventional raw material for the preparation of biodiesel fuel. We aim to optimize different oil extraction reaction parameters, alkali-catalyzed transesterification…
Achieving the EU 2030 vision of a 15% minimum amount of biofuels utilized in the road transportation require more research on biofuel production from biomass feedstock. To this end, this review study examines the use of green, deep eutectic solvents…
To meet the rising demand for biofuel, food, and feed, as well as pharmaceuticals, microalgal-based biorefinery systems provide various advantages. Because of the worldwide energy crises, the future of microalgal biorefinery is attentively receiving…
Biodiesel is a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. Biodiesel is designated B100 and is regarded as the major substitute for fossil diesel. Crambe abyssinica, a native plant from…
The biodiesel produced from Nile tilapia waste consists of an alternative material for sustainable energy production, meeting the growing energy demand without damaging the environment, being this fish waste is often disposed in the inadequate form.…
