Biodiesel is gaining prominence as a superior alternative source of energy to replace petroleum-based fuel in transportation. As of today, the biodiesel market continuous to rise up as the biofuel has been introduced to more than 60 countries…
Ethiopia’s transportation sector is currently dominated by internal combustion engine vehicles running using imported petroleum oil. Due to shortages in hard currency, a rising economy and population growth, and rapid industrialization, energy…
Hydrilla verticillata contains some active compounds that potential as an antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, antimicrobial and antitumor. One of the active compounds in Hydrilla verticillata is steroids. This research aimed to isolate, to…
The limited global crude oil reserve coupled with the environmental worsening caused by the excessive consumption of petroleum-derived fuels, has forced human to look for alternative sources of energy. Ethanol, both renewable and environmentally…
Global environmental awareness has encouraged further research towards biofuel production and consumption. Despite the favorable properties of biofuels, the sustainability of their conventional production pathways from agricultural feedstocks has…
Waste biomass for biofuels production can contribute to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and consequently, a decrease of CO2 emissions. In this work, the environmental feasibility of cardoon-to-bioethanol process was evaluated using Life Cycle…
Biofuels are considered as one of the possible solutions to reduce transportation emissions and human dependence on fossil fuels, as they are renewable and carbon neutral. Lignocellulosic agricultural wastes are promising feedstocks for the biofuel…
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are synthesized with gold particles which have different and rare physical and chemical properties. This uniqueness of GNP compared with other nanometallic particles is due to their different quantum size and huge surface…
An industrial-scale molasses-based bioethanol production system was modeled and studied by conducting exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental analyses. The entire process was represented by a control volume, and its exergoeconomic and…
The transport sector in the countries of the Economic Community of West Africa uses exclusively gasoline and fossil diesel. Despite the policy commitment to introduce renewable energy, no step has been achieved till now toward this objective. In this…
Microalgal feedstocks have gained tremendous potential for sustainable biofuel production in recent years. For biofuel processing, thermochemical, biochemical, and transesterification processes are used. Many researchers have recently become…
This study aims to construct a quantitative model of the dynamic influence of electric vehicle sales in the United States on bioethanol consumption and bioethanol production. The final research results have shown that there is a long-term equilibrium…
The history of mankind is has a close relationship with energy sources, and the contribution of these resources is crucial for the development and wellbeing of human societies. Dependence on energy sources can be traced back to several millennia, but…
Numerous processes that produce only fuel from lignocellulosic biomass have the drawback that they are not economic. To overcome this, a biorefinery process is developed to coproduce ethanol as a renewable fuel and adipic acid as a value-added…
Renewable energy (RE), frequently referred to as clean energy, comes from natural processes or sources that are continuously being replenished, such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass and, so on. These sources are limitless unlike fossil fuels,…
Bioenergy can play an essential role as an alternative energy source owing to adverse effects on the environment due to excessive usage of fossil fuels. The primary sources of bioenergy are biomass. But many problems arise in preliminary processes…
In 2019–2020, Bangladesh imported 5.2 million metric tonnes of petroleum products, worth 2.5 billion USD, and 50% of the imports were consumed by the transportation sector. Having limited natural oil reserves and being heavily dependent on oil…
This study aims to construct a quantitative model of the dynamic influence of electric vehicle sales in the United States on bioethanol consumption and bioethanol production. The final research results have shown that there is a long-term equilibrium…
Bioethanol is the most widely used biofuel in the world. Bioethanol production from biomass is a way to reduce crude oil consumption and the environmental pollution. This work aims to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of bioethanol…
The global concerns about climate change have stimulated scientific researches and the establishment of governmental policies in order to slow greenhouse gases emissions, or even to mitigate them. Bioethanol and biodiesel, the most important…
