ISSN 2277-5056 | © 2013 Bonfring Abstract--Increasing the fuel demand brings us to find out the various alternative solutions. Out of the various research activities, bio-diesel from various oil seeds is the major activity, which decides the future energy sources. Our previous researchers concluded that Jatropha oil is to be an alternate fuel for Compression ignition (C.I) engines and it has cl...

Clean air, renewable energy, climate change, safe environments, and the opportunity to live in a healthy community are just few of many issues that fall under umbrella environmental sustainability. The creation bioenergy biomaterials has potential retain energy-environment relationship while simultaneously fostering cleaner, lower-carbon settings. Scientists investigating energy sources like et...

Bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of biomass is a low-grade liquid fuel, which can be upgraded through the emulsification with diesel oil. In this study, we prepared two rice husk bio-oil samples with different solid char contents and three bio-oil/diesel-oil emulsion samples with the bio-oil content of 10 wt%, 30 wt% and 50 wt%, respectively. The lubrication properties of these oil samples were eval...

Bio-oil, a mixture of complex oxygenated hydrocarbons, is obtained through fast pyrolysis of solid biomass. As biomass is low in energy density and not easily transportable, a novel approach is to convert biomass to bio-oil, transport bio-oil to a centralized facility, gasify bio-oil to syngas, and upgrade syngas to transportation fuels and other high-value chemicals. In this study, a comprehen...

Bio-diesels and their blends are proven alternative fuels for petroleum diesel. But still the research work is going, on the bio-diesels application to make it environmental friendly. Particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen are the main pollutants in the tail pipe emissions of bio-diesel fueled engine. In this paper, mahuva methyl ester along with diethyl ether (DEE) used as fuel for the sing...

Bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis of biomass has been investigated as a renewable fuel and as a source of industrial chemicals. The lignin fraction of bio-oil produced from wood in our fast pyrolysis reactor was separated by using only water and methanol with a 25% yield based on bio-oil weight. This separation procedure appears to be of lower cost than the reported extraction procedure usin...

* The Gas-Phase Conversion of Bio-Derived 5-Methylfurfural to 2,5-Dimethylfuran Aaron Oberg and Dennis Miller *Concern over global warming and limited oil reserves has resulted in an increased interest in the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. Currently there is considerable interest in a class of bio-derived molecules referred to as furans. Furans contain an aromatic heterocyclic ...

The paper presents an analysis on small systems for converting biomass/wastes into power using Micro Gas Turbines (MGT) fed with gaseous bio-fuels produced by airgasification. The MGT is designed for burning various fossil liquid and gas fuels, having catalogue data related to natural gas use. Fuel switch changes their performances. The present work is focused on adapting the MGT for burning al...
