Assessment of fuel efficiency of neem biodiesel (Azadirachta indica) in a single cylinder diesel engine
Increase of petroleum diesel usage and its environmental pollution necessitate the study of alternate fuel production. Vegetable oils are the viable alternate form of non–polluted, renewable fuel to diesel engines. In this work, the non–edible oil, neem (Azadirachta indica) was used to produce biodiesel by a two step transesterification process. The fuel properties of the biodiesel thus produced ...

Fuel Choice And Deregulation Act Of 2015 Introduced In The U.S. Senate
On March 26, 2015, Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) introduced S. 899, the Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act of 2015, a bill to provide regulatory relief to alternative fuel producers and consumers. The bill would require EPA to provide a volatility waiver to E15, allowing the higher ethanol blend to be sold year round. Fuels have volatility limits in the summer to prevent ...

Fuel Processing for RDF, TDF and SRF
Since the beginning of the 21st century, more and more waste has been generated. In order to cope with the threat to the environment caused by the increase in waste, people have begun to use waste as fuel that can be burned in boilers for power generation or heating. We divide the fuel from waste into RDF, TDF, SRF according to different components and processing method of the waste. ...

California Air Resources Board Votes To Re-Adopt Low Carbon Fuel Standard
On September 25, 2015, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted to readopt the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), and require a ten percent reduction in carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 2020. The LCFS targets were originally frozen due to a legal challenge. To address the court's ruling, CARB solicited public testimony before readopting an updated version of the LCFS. The modified ...

SRF – a class of its own
Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) is still classified as a waste material, not a product, despite the fact it is manufactured to a quality specification and is a resource from which energy can be recovered. Here, UNTHA UK’s alternative fuel production expert Marcus Brew considers the parameters within which SRF must be manufactured, before investigating the arguments for and against SRF being ...

Legal Lookout: Executive Order Supports Alternative Fuel Use
On Jan. 24, 2007, President Bush signed Executive Order (EO) 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management, which mandates that federal agencies reduce oil consumption, use more alternative fuels and curb greenhouse gas emissions. In his 2007 State of the Union address, Bush announced plans to reduce U.S. gasoline usage by 20 percent in 10 years. The EO also ...

How is biodiesel produced?
This article is the first in a series that will take a close look at alternative fuels production and source materials. Over the next several months, we will cover natural gas, propane, ethanol, hydrogen, and fuel cells. This month, we will focus on biodiesel. Methods for creating fuels from renewable biomass feedstocks have been used since the 1800s. Vegetable oils were used in diesel engines ...

Will natural gas dim solar’s shine?
As natural gas booms, renewable energy proponents ponder whether it will serve as a bridge or roadblock to photovoltaic power On the outskirts of downtown St. Paul, Minn., Xcel Energy’s High Bridge Generating Station offers an iconic view of the current state of electrical generation in the United States. Opened in 2008 as a replacement for an aging coal plant, the 534-megawatt natural gas ...

How to guarantee the maintenance of the cement production flow in 5 points?
Cement manufacturers can use several methods to prevent and eliminate material build-up and improve their flow throughout the cement production process. Standard Industrie International, a specialist in handling and cleaning equipment for the bulk industry, has been working with major cement groups on this issue for many years. The experts of this French company, which has an international ...

RDF Plant Cost
Alternative fuel RDF (refuse derived fuel) or solid secondary fuel is a fuel obtained from waste. RDF contains high-calorie waste components such as plastic, paper, cardboard, textiles, rubber, leather, wood, etc. RDF can be used as main or supplementary fuel in furnaces of cement plants, thermal power plants, metallurgical furnaces. The calculations performed showed the expediency of replacing ...

Landfills types of technologies for converting LFG into Energy
A number of factors, including the availability of an energy market, project costs, potential revenue sources, and other technical considerations, can determine which technologies are most appropriate for a particular landfill gas-to-energy (LFGE) project. Technologies for converting LFG into energy include the following. Electricity Generation Approximately 70 percent of the LFGE projects ...

Is it possible for alternative fuels to replace traditional fossil fuels as the mainstream?
If you were a coal-burning company, would you like to choose $60 alternative fuels per ton or $180 coal fuels per ton? Of course, such a direct comparison is not reasonable because alternative fuels differ from coal in terms of calorific value of combustion and disposal costs. Let us then calculate the actual economic benefits of alternative fuels compared to fossil fuels (as represented by coal) ...

Biomass Pyrolysis Plant: What It Really Are Capable Of Doing To Suit Your Needs
A mobile biomass pyrolysis plant can operate independently of any electrical grid and might re-locate multiple times annually. The economics of biomass pyrolysis are favorable for many different reasons. The expense of raw materials is less, and the biomass haul distance is quite a bit shorter compared to a set-site biomass pyrolysis plant. The mobile plant may be operated on a number of biomass ...

Biomass alternative fuel: co-combustion of coal explodes!
Biomass fuel blending in Europe Europe has used biomass fuels on a large scale for more than 30 years. The UK has adopted the direct-fired co-combustion route for large coal-fired power plants and has continuously increased the proportion of biomass coupling. Through policy drive, cost management and safety control, it achieved multiple 100% biomass-fired thermal power plants in 2018. ...
