Download or read book Emission balances of first and second generation biofuels written by Dorian Frieden and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines and compares the greenhouse gas emissions of alternative first-generation and second-generation biofuel production pathways. The emissions balance analysed include greenhouse gas emissions from cultivation, land use change, processing and transport of biofuels. The biofuel production pathways reviewed are: -Biodiesel from palm oil in Indonesia, -Biodiesel from jatropha in South Africa and Mexico, -Bioethanol from sugar cane in South Africa, Mexico and Indonesia, -Bioethanol from wood in South Africa and Mexico, -Fischer-Tropsch diesel from wood in South Africa and Mexico Most calculations are undertaken using a tool developed by the BioGrace project funded by the European Union. For land use change emissions, three default values based on results from the partial equilibrium Global Biomass Optimisation Model (GLOBIOM) are used. An allocation of greenhouse gas emissions to the biofuel and its co-products is done by using the energy allocation method. The results show that wherever a land use change default value for non-wood feedstocks is used, this value dominates by far all other emission sources. Default land use change emissions for pathways using wood as feedstock are minor (short rotation coppice) or negative (wood from existing forests). However, woody feedstocks require second-generation conversion technologies. The least emission intensive first-generation pathways are bioethanol from sugar cane in Mexico and Indonesia due to the high productivity of sugar cane and the simple conversion process. Due to the limited country-specific database, a differentiation between countries or regions could not clearly be made. Differentiation can rather be done for the importance of particular factors such as feedstock productivity in conjunction with fertiliser use, allocation of co-products or the energy demand of specific conversion technologies.
Download or read book Agro Waste Derived Biofuel written by A. B. M. Sharif Hossain and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomass derived biofuel is a reducing component of global warming and greenhouse gas emission as well as reducing agent of climate change. It is biodegradable, nontoxic and environmentally friendly fuel. Bioethanol is widely used as liquid biofuel and is produced as a result of bioprocess from sugars, starches or cellulosie biomass including agro waste. The study was designed to utilize the rotten fruits of apple, mango, banana and pineapple. Fruits waste were used to produce bioethanol to contribute for clean environment by conversion of fruit waste to fuel supply and reduction of environmental pollution. The produced bioethanol was also subjected to the detailed chemical analysis (Ie, Pb, Cu, Na, Mg, Ca, etc) of residual metals. The bioethanol obtained as a result of fermentation was subjected to engine emission test and revealed a remarkable reduction of hazardous gases (NOx, SOx, HC, CO2 and CO) in the blends of bioethanol (E10, E5). The emission test was performed using a car engine (Multicylinder). It is recommended that bioethanol can be produced from waste and made industrialization using agro-waste to meet the challange of fuel crisis and environmental pollution.
Download or read book Bioethanol Fuel for Transportation written by A. B. M. Sharif Hossain and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies were conducted to produce bioethanol fuel from dates fruit biomass using different parameters. The effects of duration, pH, temperatures, enzyme concentration and components of dates waste on bioethanol production were investigated. The optimum yield of bioethanol at different parameters was evaluated. Viscosity, acid value and some metal content were found within the limits described by the American Standards for Testing Material (ASTM). The produced bioethanol was analyzed and found that there was no toxic elements and acceptable for transportation fuel and maintained the quality of ASTM standard. Fuel consumption was found less in 10% bioethanol than 5% bioethanol and 100% gasoline. Greenhouse gas emissions like NOx, CO2, CO, SOx, and HC were reduced by using bioethanol as fuel. This bioethanol from dates fruit biomass (waste dates/non-food materials) was of good quality which generated the petrol engine(Gen -2 car engine, Malaysia) . Besides, waste can be managed and renewed energy as well as recyclng process can be done by using this bioconversion and waste management technology.

Download or read book Fruits and Vegetable Wastes written by Ramesh C. Ray and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-16 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book puts together all aspects of valorization of vegetable and fruit wastes (VFWs) into different biocommodities and platform chemicals using fermentation and non-fermentation processes. VFWs are a special group of solid waste (biomass) that needs to be characterized to understand the nature of applications as raw materials and to propose an appropriate methodology for bioprocessing into value-added commodities. VFWs provide favorable conditions for the growth of microorganisms, and this opens up great opportunities for their use in fermentation processes. For example, VFWs can be used as a solid support, carbon, and nutrient source in fermentation for the production of a variety of value-added biocommodities such as enzymes, single-cell proteins, bioadsorbents, phenolic bioactive compounds, aroma and flavor compounds, and platform chemicals like lactic acid, bioethanol, and biobutanol. Researchers and academics in the area of environmental science and engineering, chemical engineering, biotechnology, life science, and food science and technology, undergraduate and graduate students, industry professionals, and policymakers will find this publication useful. Bioprocessing of agro-wastes is a recent technology for developing novel bioproducts. This book will also be of interest to the general public as a reference for all those interested in waste management.
