Bioenergy from Dependent Resources (Forestry, Vegetable Oils, Waste)

Agricultural and forestry residues provide the largest proportion of biomass used for the production of biomas bioenergy. Some estimates suggest that globally available biomass role in the form of recoverable residues represents about 40 Ejyr -1, enough to meet 10% of the total present energy use of 406 Ejyr -1 . However, realizing this potential is limited by factors such as ease and cost of recovery and environmental concerns relating to sustainable land use practices. (more…)

Biodiesel is more Efficient and in Harmony with the Environment

biodiesel efficient environment
Researchers at the University of Cádiz (UCA) propose a technological change in the current process onhow to make biodiesel more efficient and in harmony with the environment. The Department of Innovation, Science and Enterprise has financed the project of excellence ‘Development of a monolithic catalyst alumina / aluminum for the production of biodiesel’ with 62,000 euros.

Biodiesel is diesel fuel made from renewable sources of carbon such as used vegetable oil or animal fats used in cooking. In diesel engines it can be used as a direct substitute for petrodiesel fuel made from petroleum.

Biodiesel is clear amber liquid. Its consistency is similar to that of petrodiesel. Biodiesel fuel can be used on its own in a diesel engine or mixed with petrodiesel. Some people mix small amounts of biodiesel into gasoline (gasoline additive) to decrease its air-pollution qualities. (more…)
