Synopsis

Biodiesel is one of the main biofuels capable of substituting fossil fuel usage in compression ignition vehicles, and is used in a variety of fuel blends worldwide. Advances in biodiesel production, aimed at more sustainable and effective feedstock utilisation alongside improved processing routes for increased production efficiency and fuel quality, are critical to the future both of this industry and of the continued use of biodiesel fuels in transportation. This book provides a timely reference on the advances in the development of biodiesel fuels, production processes and technologies.

Key Features: provides a timely reference on the advances in the development of biodiesel fuels, production processes and technologies; reviews the life cycle sustainability assessment and socio-economic and environmental policy issues associated with advanced biodiesel production, as well as feedstocks and fuel quality standards; discusses the development of methods and catalysts essential to the improvement and optimisation of biodiesel production processes and technologies.

Contents: Part 1 Fundamental issues and assessment in advanced biodiesel production: Introduction to advanced biodiesel production; Life cycle sustainability assessment of second generation biodiesel; Socio-economic, environmental and policy perspectives of advanced biodiesel production; Feedstocks for advanced biodiesel production; Advances in biodiesel quality control, characterisation and standards development. Part 2 Advanced biodiesel production processes and technologies: Advances in biodiesel catalysts and processing technologies; Biodiesel from waste oils and fats; Biodiesel from microbial oil; Microalgae processing for biodiesel production; Valorisation of the glycerol by-product from biodiesel production; Appendix supply chains, techno-economic assessment and market development for second generation biodiesel.
