Overview

This book comprehends the characteristics, creation, and utilization of biofuels derived from different feedstocks like edible oil, non-edible oil, cooked waste, chicken fat, and algae. It covers recent energy scenarios, environmental issues and solutions, biodiesel production techniques, and the optimization of process parameters, such as the selection of feedstock for biofuels production. Bioethanol production from different feedstocks and pretreatment techniques, biogas upgrading technology, storage, and utilization in dual fuel engines is also included. Features: Discusses the production and application of the low/zero-carbon fuel Provides information on the legislation and standards for the adoption of these fuels Includes statistical data and pricing of the current situation of raw materials, products, and utilities costs Explores the adoption of machine-learning algorithms like ANN for the production processes Consider safety aspects, regulatory policies, and sustainable use directions This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical and mechanical engineering, alternative fuels, and combustion engines.
