Biogas Cleaning and Conditioning: A Requirement for Optimal Operation of CHP Systems
For the adequate use of biogas as biofuel in CHP-equipment or for biomethane production, it requires a previous conditioning to remove or reduce all of the dangerous compounds. Biolimp-siloxa is a multi-purpose plant technology to consider in reducing all pollutants. Biogas is a gaseous mixture formed mainly by methane (CH 4 ), CO 2 and traces of other components. Biogas has dangerous compounds ...

Technical note: An approximate examination of the effects of esterification on the EROEI of biodiesel fuels
Heat balance calculations on esterification of plant oil to make biodiesel are performed using recently published information from a laboratory reactor. It is concluded that such energy is relatively small and that attempts to improve the EROEI of biodiesels should not focus on the esterification process. [Received: January 8, 2009; Accepted: September 25, 2009]Keywords: biodiesel, ...

Bioenergy and the convergence of the markets for fuel, food, and fibre
Don Roberts said four key variables are driving the economics of biofuel production: the price of fossil fuels, the cost of the feedstock, the “plethora” of conversion technology, and regulations, which stimulate demand. These variables are in flux, which presents a dilemma for investors, who “hate uncertainty.” Conversion technologies are at varying stages of market readiness. As “some of the ...

Focus Bioenergy No 7 2004: Biofuels - heating for the future
Biofuels for heating of homes and properties is rapidly making headway. Environmentally friendly, comfortable and price-worthy small-scale heating with biofuels is done using pellets or briquettes. Changing an oil burner for a pellets burner or replacing electric heating with a pellet-burning stove is often very profitable. It demands less effort than wood firing but somewhat more work than using ...
