Tribological Performance of Biomass-Derived Bio-Alcohol and Bio-Ketone Fuels

Production of Bio-Derived Fuels and Chemicals

The great demand for, and impending depletion of petroleum reserves, the associated impact of fossil fuel consumption on the environment, and volatility in the energy market have elicited extensive research on alternative sources of traditional petroleum-derived products such as biofuels and bio-chemicals. Fossil oil is largely associated with gasoline, however, approximately 6000 petroleum-der...

Upgrading Biomass Pyrolysis Bio-oil to Renewable Fuels

The Role of Noble Metal Catalysts in Conversion of Biomass and Bio-derived Intermediates to Fuels and Chemicals

In the face of growing oil demand the use of renewable feedstocks for the potential to supply transportation fuels, electricity, chemicals and materials is increasingly attractive. This review covers novel technologies and pathways to produce liquid fuels and chemical intermediates in an efficient and cost-effective way. Several commercial and pilot scale projects by companies including Anellot...

Perennial Crops for Bio-fuels and Conservation

Perennial woody crops have the potential to contribute significantly to the production of bio-fuels while simultaneously helping to provide a wide range of conservation benefits. Among these benefits are increased biological diversity in the landscape, conservation of soil and water resources, maintenance of forest ecosystem productivity and health, contribution to the global carbon cycle, and ...

Structure of research on biomass and bio-fuels: A citation-based approach

Article history: Received 3 September 2007 Received in revised form 31 January 2008 Accepted 29 April 2008 Biomass and bio-fuels have gained a growing interest as sustainable and renewable energy. In this paper, we perform a citation network analysis of scientific publications to know the current structure of biomass and bio-fuel research. By clustering and visualizing the network, we revealed ...
