“…In Latin America where, along with Asia, the growth in consumption of diesel by 2030 is projected to be the highest in the world, demand for biodiesel will grow as well from 7.4 million tonnes (8.4 billion litres) currently to 12.7 million tonnes (14.5 billion litres) by 2030 (Global Biofuels…, 2022). Furthermore, to reduce dependency on petroleum, several international agencies and governments aim to use biofuels to supply 25% of their transportation Engenharia Agrícola, Jaboticabal, v.43, special issue, e20220137, 2023 energy by 2050 (Bhandari & Sessa, 2020;Global Biofuels…, 2022;Ilić & Ödlund, 2022;Malins & Sandford, 2022). A number of national biofuel programmes have been implemented to reduce importation of fossil fuels to enhance the security of national fuel supplies (Valdivia et al, 2016;ANP, 2020;Souza Santana, 2021;Rezende et al, 2021;Ramos et al, 2022;Tavares et al, 2022).…”

The growing interest in alternative fuels based on plant oils has led to the search for new plant species. Given this, during 2015-2020, oil from 12 varieties of oilseed radish was studied using standard research protocols. The average content of the dominant fatty acids in the oils studied was: [cis-9] oleic (C 18:1) 33.95% (Cv = 14.2%), [cis-9,12] linoleic (C 18:2) 16.20% (Cv = 20.8%), [cis-13] erucic (C 22:1) 15.18% (Cv = 17.9%), [cis-9, 12, 15] α-linolenic (C 18:3) 13.33% (Cv = 18.5%) and palmitic (C 16:0) 5.42% (Cv = 18.5%), with a monounsaturated fatty acid content of 59.69% and a ratio of polyunsaturated/monounsaturated fatty acids of 0.508. The studied varieties were ranked in the order of increasing suitability as a component of biofuels: 'Zhuravka' < 'Raiduha' < 'Lybid' < 'Olga' < 'Iveya' < 'Ramonta' < 'Alpha' < 'Tambovchanka' < 'Fakel' < 'Snizhana' < 'Sabina' < 'Nika'. The technological suitability of oil from the 'Zhuravka' variety was confirmed based on analysis of its physicochemical parameters when subjected to polymerization (at 280 °C) and oxypolymerization (at 120 and 150 °C). Under these conditions the basic parameters of the oil varied within the technological limits that determine its suitability for thermodynamic combustion processes in systems with controlled pressure and temperature.

“…The development of green energy in Brazil is covered in (Gramkow and Anger-Kraavi 2019) and in (Bhandari and Sessa 2020), who both come to a conclusion that the green energy sector in Brazil is underdeveloped, despite the significant changes in the situation in recent years. Moreover, these articles point out the major problems of the Brazilian economic model, leading to the shortcomings in the energy sector development.…”

The issues of green energy and sustainable development are one of the most discussed and most important today in face of the global challenges, such as global warming, greenhouse emissions, degradation of the ecology etc. In this regard, green energy is obviously a necessary part of the energy policy of a country. Still, economic crises and instability have led to the necessity to form a sustainable economy; hence the crossing of the two mentioned policies leads to the necessity to figure out what sustainable green energy is. The issues of green energy are very important for the developing economies, which are highly limited in financial resources. The countries of Latin America are among the ones which face significant issues in this sphere. The article is devoted to the formulation of this concept and to the proof that sustainable energy development is individual for every country. The scope of the research is the Latin American region, within the years since 2000. The authors conducted a regression analysis of the GDPs of several countries, namely, Bra-zil, Argentina, Peru and Colombia and their green energy sectors, and formulated conclusions on sustainable energy sources in these countries. The key findings include the proof of sustainable green energy sources for every researched country and the strategies for the improvement of these countries' renewable energy sector performance. The novelty of the article encompasses the methodology used and the concept of sustainable renewable energy.

“…It is worth mentioning that the social aspect associated with those energy sources is not explored in Table 1 because it is not the focus of the current work. Regardless, some studies suggest that investments in renewable energy are associated with GDP growth, employment growth, increase in welfare, and reduction of atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gases [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Barriers to the Expansion of Sugarcane Bioelectricity in Brazilian Energy Transition

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article evaluated bioelectricity’s evolving competitiveness and systemic complementarity benefits, both in comparison with other renewable sources. To do so, the results of several energy auctions were analysed, and a modelling exercise was developed using an optimisation model based on stochastic dual dynamic programming. The results indicate that wind and solar energies became the least cost expansions, and sugarcane bioelectricity lost significance and competitiveness in this environment. At the same time, the study shows that wind power’s potential to be complementary to hydropower generation is greater than bioenergy in Brazil. These findings have relevant policy implications regarding the power sector and whether bioelectricity from sugarcane should still be incentivised along with wind power sources. It is worthwhile to point out that although the Brazilian case is explored in the article, it can be used as an example by other countries, especially developing ones, that can take advantage of Brazilian expertise on biomass exploitation aiming at integration with the power sector.
