Algae biofuels is considered as an alternative source to fossil fuels. In recent ‎decades, there was a ‎significant increase in the use of energy sources in order ‎to avoid the depletion of traditional ‎sources s...

The catalytic conversion of palm oil was carried out over four zeolite catalysts—Y, ZSM-5, Y-ZSM-5 hybrid, and Y/ZSM-5 composite—to produce jet biofuel with high amount of alkanes and low amount of aromatic hydrocarb...

Chlorella micro algae strains offer sustainable biomass feedstocks in biofuel production because of their resilience, diversity, high adaptability to environmental stresses, flexible cultivation alternatives and high bio...

Today’s main topic is global warming and carbon neutrality. We therefore investigate biofuel (Bio-Energy) in our living space; its amount is comparable to fossil fuel. We analyze the production of hydrogen by processin...

Evolution of fuel cells using metallic inorganic catalysts has led to the development of biofuel cells with potential applications in implantable devices. However, the main disadvantages in real world applications of enz...

The sustainable production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose remains a major challenge in advancing bio-based chemical platforms. Despite extensive research, achieving high HMF yields in environmentally frien...

Abstract The article presents an interdisciplinary study examining the environmental and economic implications of introducing low-carbon fuels in coastal shipping. The main focus is on the comparison of alternative energ...

Abstract Catalytic biomass gasification is a process that involves the conversion of solid biomass constituents into a gaseous fuel, typically a mixture of CO, H2, CO2, and CH4 through high-temperature thermochemical rea...

Increases in petroleum prices have affected the prices of its derived products. In addition, the interest in issues related to the environment and energy security at world-wide level has been increased. All of these fact...

This research project aims to investigate fuel tankering practices in the aviation industry, exploring their relation to carbon emissions and evaluating the Brazilian fuel tankering scenario in comparison to global and n...

The transesterification reaction of soybean oil with methanol is studied with different gAl2O3 heterogeneous catalysts. The catalysts used are K-gAl2O3, Na-gAl2O3, Li-gAl2O3, Ca-gAl2O3 and Ba-gAl2O3 both 5% and 10% in me...

Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple food in sub–Saharan Africa. Over 60% of the global cassava production occurs in Africa, with the southern African region contributing approximately 15% to thi...

Abstract Accurate prediction of bio-oil yield from pyrolysis of organic solid waste is still the main problem in the field of biomass valorization, mostly because of high variability in the composition and the heterogene...

The advancement of global endeavors to mitigate climate change is largely influenced by developments within China’s transportation sector. This study focuses on the crucial role of biodiesel as a biofuel in China’s t...

Background: Microbial lipid production represents a potential alternative feedstock for the biofuel and oleochemical industries. Since Escherichia coli exhibits many genetic, technical, and biotechnological advantages ov...

ABSTRACT Amphibians are excellent bioindicators because they are sensitive to chemical pollution and can indicate ecosystem changes due to the presence of or exposure to chemical compounds. Here we report evidence of the...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the feeding behavior of feedlot Nellore bulls fed two levels of concentrate (650 and 710 g/kg dry matter) with or without the inclusion of 350 g babassu mesocarp meal/kg...

ABSTRACT Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have well-documented benefits, including increasing students’ access to research, fostering science identity, and improving retention in STEM. However, C...

Waste materials from agricultural and food packaging usage pose significant health and environmental challenges, where the main source of waste originates from plastics and protein-based amino acids, and their thermal de...

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar el área geográfica para el desarrollo del sésamo (Sesamus indicum L) en Argentina, como fuente alimenticia y como materia prima para producir biodiesel. Para definir el...

The growing interest on first- and second-generation biofuels requires the development of thermodynamic tools with predictive capacity for mixtures containing a wide variety of organo-oxygenated compounds, water and hydr...

In the last three years, 2 billion tonnes of untreated and dismissed agricultural wastes have been accumulated without adequate management of reuse or final disposal, resulting in dumping or burning. The circular economy...

Jatropha curcas belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family which has potential economically. This plant has been reported to contain toxic compounds such as curcin and phorbol ester and its derivatives. These compounds may beco...

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of sunflower seed shells was performed using a two-stage fixed bed reactor to produce partially deoxygenated bio-oils. Ketonization and aldol condensation reactions were performed in a dual bed r...
