Download or read book Renewable Diesel from Algal Lipids written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Energy's Biomass Program has begun an initiative to obtain consistent quantitative metrics for algal biofuel production to establish an 'integrated baseline' by harmonizing and combining the Program's national resource assessment (RA), techno-economic analysis (TEA), and life-cycle analysis (LCA) models. The baseline attempts to represent a plausible near-term production scenario with freshwater microalgae growth, extraction of lipids, and conversion via hydroprocessing to produce a renewable diesel (RD) blendstock. Energy and nutrients are recycled from the residual biomass using onsite anaerobic digestion ... The integrated baseline reported here, and the associated modeling tools, establish a vehicle for quantifying the cost, emissions, and resource potential consequences of emerging data from algal biofuel research and development activities. It is envisioned that this initiative will be ongoing with opportunities for data validation and parameter/process improvements based upon shared community data.

Download or read book Sustainable Development of Algal Biofuels in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biofuels made from algae are gaining attention as a domestic source of renewable fuel. However, with current technologies, scaling up production of algal biofuels to meet even 5 percent of U.S. transportation fuel needs could create unsustainable demands for energy, water, and nutrient resources. Continued research and development could yield innovations to address these challenges, but determining if algal biofuel is a viable fuel alternative will involve comparing the environmental, economic and social impacts of algal biofuel production and use to those associated with petroleum-based fuels and other fuel sources. Sustainable Development of Algal Biofuels was produced at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Download or read book Biodiesel Feedstocks Technologies Economics and Barriers written by Armen B. Avagyan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air pollution policy is closely connected with climate change, public health, energy, transport, trade, and agriculture, and generally speaking, the Earth has been pushed to the brink and the damage is becoming increasingly obvious. The transport sector remains a foremost source of air pollutants – a fact that has stimulated the production of biofuels. This book focuses on the biodiesel industry, and proposes a modification of the entire manufacturing chain that would pave the way for further improvements. Oil derived from oilseed plantations/crops is the most commonly used feedstock for the production of biodiesel. At the same time, the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering and 178 scientists in the Netherlands have determined that some biofuels, such as diesel produced from food crops, have led to more emissions than those produced by fossil fuels. Accordingly, this book re-evaluates the full cycle of biodiesel production in order to help find optimal solutions. It confirms that the production and use of fertilizers for the cultivation of crop feedstocks generate considerably more GHG emissions compared to the mitigation achieved by using biodiesel. To address this fertilization challenge, projecting future biofuel development requires a scenario in which producers shift to an organic agriculture approach that includes the use of microalgae. Among advanced biofuels, algae’s advantages as a feedstock include the highest conversion of solar energy, and the ability to absorb CO2 and pollutants; as such, it is the better choice for future fuels. With regard to the question of why algae’s benefits have not been capitalized on for biofuel production, our analyses indicate that the sole main barrier to realizing algae’s biofuel potential is ineffective international and governmental policies, which create difficulties in reconciling the goals of economic development and environmental protection.
Download or read book Life Cycle Analysis of Biodiesel from Different Sources And Diesel written by Kaustav Bhadury and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GREET enables a fast approach to an optimum Well-to-wheel analysis, while bringing new insights and improving the understanding of the nature of various biodiesel production processes. A simulation of Well-to-wheel analysis of Bio-diesel from soyabean is carried on GREET is discussed in this book. These simulation mentions about various steps involved in the analysis. It is followed by detailed tabulation of the analysis. Furthermore Life Cycle Analysis of Bio-diesel production from jatropha and micro algae is developed and discussed. In this book, Net Energy Ratio (NER)of these bio-diesel sources is calculated and a comparison with production of conventional diesel is made. Thus, the main aim of this book is to inform scholars about GREET and its effective use in industries as well as by research community and to assess the sustainability of Bio-diesel production from jatropha and micro algae and their comparison with conventional diesel.
Download or read book Potential for Biofuel Production from Algae Based Wastewater Treatment in California Can Algal Biofuels be Cost competitive with Traditional Petroleum Based Diesel written by Amanda Rupiper and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither the use of algae to clean wastewater, nor the use of photosynthetic organisms to generate biodiesel, are new concepts on their own. By combining these two processes, algal-based wastewater treatment with algal biofuel production, additional benefits can be derived, among which could be a cost-savings. In California the average estimated base production cost per gallon for algal biodiesel is $5.98/gallon. Compared to the adjusted production cost of petroleum-based diesel of $1.53/gallon, biodiesel is not cost-competitive. Coupling wastewater treatment and algal cultivation reduces the net energy use of the two processes separately and, if accounted for, greatly reduces the production cost of algal biodiesel. When adjusting the production costs for some of the many co-benefits of this combined process and fuel, such as wastewater treatment cost offsets and carbon credits, the fuel becomes much more competitive with an average production cost of $0.56/gallon. As this production process develops, technological optimization, particularly improvements in algal lipid content and productivity, will further reduce the cost of algal biodiesel.
