Book excerpt: For anyone who is trying to keep up with the extremely rapid developments in the biodiesel industry, the second edition of Biodiesel: Growing a New Energy Economy is an invaluable aid. The breathtaking speed with which biodiesel has gained acceptance in the marketplace in the past few years has been exceeded only by the proliferation of biodiesel production facilities around the United States--and the world--only to confront new social and environmental challenges and criticisms. The international survey of the biodiesel industry has been expanded from 40 to more than 80 countries, reflecting the spectacular growth of the industry around the world. This section also tracks the dramatic shifts in the fortunes of the industry that have taken place in some of these nations. The detailed chapters that cover the industry in the United States have also been substantially rewritten to keep abreast of its many new developments and explosive domestic growth. An expanded section on small-scale, local biodiesel production has been added to better represent this small but growing part of the industry. Another new section has been added to more fully explore the increasingly controversial issues of deforestation and food versus fuel, as well as GMO crops. The second edition concludes with updated views on where the industry is headed in the years to come from some of its key players.

Book excerpt: The objective of the research presented in this paper is the development of cost curves for small-scale biodiesel production and a comparison of relevant technologies. The three technologies considered are the biodiesel pilot plant at the Iowa Energy Center's Biomass Energy Conversion Center, the commercially-sold Fuelmeister, and the bicycle-powered machine currently under development by students at Oberlin College. The price of biodiesel at which production via these technologies becomes profitable and the relative profitability of each will be determined through the use of a linear program. The importance of resource recovery and energy efficiency and the use of recycled feedstocks will be considered.

Download or read book An Economic Analysis of Small-scale Biodiesel Production in Sierra Leone written by Yvonne R. Griswold and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Energy Agency states that the world will need at last 50 percent more energy by 2020 (Thongbai et. al. 2006). This problem is especially acute in Sub- Saharan Africa. This region faces especially great food vs. fuel tradeoffs. Discerning whether land would be better used for continual land production to meet food consumption for a society needs or whether bioenergy production has the potential to increase foreign exchange in hopes of increasing food security are very important questions to consider. Arnt et al. conducted an economic analysis using a Computable General Equilibrium Model of biofuels in Mozambique. They find that biofuels production can enhance economic growth and reduce poverty. They conclude that over a 12-year horizon, approximately 36,000 and 55,000 manufacturing jobs can be created in the ethanol and biodiesel sectors, respectively. Using this article as a template for issues that Sierra Leone faces also, I use a Partial Budget Analysis (PBA) and Microeconomic Analysis (MEA) to determine an economic analysis for biodiesel production from palm kernel and fruit oil. I focus on how potential biodiesel production from palm fruit oil could affect food security and poverty in the country. I find that the feasibility and profitability of small-scale biodiesel production is sensitive to wage rates and input prices. Biodiesel produced from palm kernel oil can be profitable given the correct circumstances. I also find that opportunity cost of diverting palm fruit oil away from food to biodiesel is quiet high and seemingly unprofitable in most cases.

Book excerpt: This book presents in-depth information on the state of the art of global biodiesel production and investigates its impact on climate change. Subsequently, it comprehensively discusses biodiesel production in terms of production systems (reactor technologies) as well as biodiesel purification and upgrading technologies. Moreover, the book reviews essential parameters in biodiesel production systems as well as major principles of operation, process control, and trouble-shooting in these systems. Conventional and emerging applications of biodiesel by-products with a view to further economize biodiesel production are also scrutinized. Separate chapters are dedicated to economic risk analysis and critical comparison of biodiesel production systems as well as techno-economical aspects of biodiesel plants. The book also thoroughly investigates the important aspects of biodiesel production and combustion by taking advantage of advanced sustainability analysis tools including life cycle assessment (LCA) and exergy techniques. In closing, the application of Omics technologies in biodiesel production is presented and discussed. This book is relevant to anyone with an interest in renewable, more sustainable fuel and energy solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiesel production is a rapidly advancing field worldwide, with biodiesel fuel increasingly being used in compression ignition (diesel) engines. Biodiesel has been extensively studied and utilised in developed countries, and it is increasingly being introduced in developing countries, especially in regions with high potential for sustainable biodiesel production. Initial sections systematically review feedstock resources and vegetable oil formulations, including the economics of vegetable oil conversion to diesel fuel, with additional coverage of emerging energy crops for biodiesel production. Further sections review the transesterification process, including chemical (catalysis) and biochemical (biocatalysis) processes, with extended coverage of industrial process technology and control methods, and standards for biodiesel fuel quality assurance. Final chapters cover the sustainability, performance and environmental issues of biodiesel production, as well as routes to improve glycerol by-product usage and the development of next-generation products. Biodiesel science and technology: From soil to oil provides a comprehensive reference to fuel engineers, researchers and academics on the technological developments involved in improving biodiesel quality and production capacity that are crucial to the future of the industry. Evaluates biodiesel as a renewable energy source and documents global biodiesel development The outlook for biodiesel science and technology is presented exploring the challenges faced by the global diesel industry Reviews feedstock resources and vegetable oil formation including emerging crops and the agronomic potential of underexploited oil crops
