1. Feb 26, 2024Biofuels that have similar properties to and can be used for the same purposes as petroleum distillate fuels include biodiesel, renewable diesel, renewable jet/aviation fuel, and renewable heating oil. Along with fuel ethanol, they qualify for the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program and may also qualify for state government fuel standards and programs.
  2. Unlike other renewable energy sources, biomass can be converted directly into liquid fuels, called "biofuels," to help meet transportation fuel needs. The two most common types of biofuels in use today are ethanol and biodiesel, both of which represent the first generation of biofuel technology.

    7 days agoThis study explores fish waste as a renewable feedstock for biodiesel production, contributing to sustainable energy solutions. Supercritical fluid extraction using carbon dioxide was employed to extract fish lipid efficiently, achieving a maximum yield of 77.2% under optimal conditions of 80 °C, 30 MPa pressure, and 60 min of extraction time.
  6. DOE Office of Science: Contributions to Biofuel Research. The Department of Energy Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research program provides support for research on advanced biofuels and bioproducts developed from non-food lignocellulosic plant biomass. These efforts take place in the four DOE Bioenergy Research Centers.

    Biofuels can be utilizing as fuel additives or in their pure form. Further, biofuels are commonly classified into bioethanol and biodiesel [5].The liquid biofuels can be utilized as an alternative source for conventional fuels in the transportation sector, contributing to approximately 18% of primary energy consumption [1], [6].Today, approximately 80% of liquid biofuel is manufactured in ...
  10. BIOFUELS: ENERGY FOR TRANSPORTATION. Biomass is one type of renewable resource that can be converted into liquid fuels—known as biofuels—for transportation. Biofuels include cellulosic ethanol, biodiesel, and renewable hydrocarbon "drop-in" fuels. The two most common types of biofuels in use today are ethanol and biodiesel.
