Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are attractive materials for their ability to generate in situ that may be directly used produce target biofuel precursors, fuels or fuel additives. Indeed, the replacement of fossil feedstock is an urgent necessity shifting toward a carbon neutral energy economy. Several desired chemicals and derived from renewable sources can accessed by hydrogenation ...

Many compounds being considered as candidates for advanced biofuels are toxic to microorganisms. This introduces an undesirable trade-off when engineering metabolic pathways for biofuel production because the engineered microbes must balance production against survival. Cellular export systems, such as efflux pumps, provide a direct mechanism for reducing biofuel toxicity. To identify novel bio...

Microalgae have great potential to produce various biofuels, includin...

This editorial will introduce a set of seven articles appearing in this Special Issue on Pan American biofuel and bioenergy sustainability. We will discuss the importance of sustainability in biofuel and bioenergy development and rationale for a focus on the Pan American region. These articles are one outcome of a US National Science Foundation-funded project, and we will list the project goal,...

While much attention has focused on the climate change mitigation potential of biofuels, research from the social sciences increasingly highlights the social and livelihood impacts of their expanded production. Policy and governance measures aimed at improving the social effects of biofuels have proliferated but questions remain about their effectiveness across the value chain. This paper perfo...

BACKGROUND The unicellular model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is considered a promising microbial chassis for biofuel production. However, its low tolerance to biofuel toxicity limits its potential application. Although recent studies showed that bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) play important roles in regulating cellular processes in response to various stresses, the role of sRNAs in ...

<p>An experimental research on production of biodiesel from lipids chlorella vulgaris has been done through transesterification reaction process. The series cultures carried out and the optimum growth time was determined. synthesis is processed by two steps i.e., isolation lipids. objective study to develop a simultaneous waste water treatment system renewable energy utilizing algal growt...

The investigation of the characterization Adansonia digitata biomass from pyrolysis in a fixed-bed tubular carbon steel reactor at temperatures 400℃ to 700℃. Firstly, proximate, ultimate, and heating value analyses raw were obtained prior experimental runs via fast process; thereafter, quality bio-oil biochar yields for bioenergy industrial applications was investigated using following analyses...

This paper focuses on the investigation and optimisation of Miller cycle, methanol, ethanol turbocharging when applied to a high-performance gasoline engine. These technologies have been both individually concurrently test for potential compounding effects. Improvements targeted with regards emission output performance. Also assessed is capability engine operate exclusively powered by biofuels....

© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org E energy demands, volatile petroleum prices, and growing concerns about climate change have spurred worldwide interest in alternatives to fossil fuels. Biofuels, or fuels produced from biomass, have become a major focus of attention, because they represent a potential means of both reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering ne...
