A review of global current scenario of biodiesel adoption and combustion in vehicular diesel engines

Comparative Study on the Energetic and Ecologic Parameters of Dual Fuels (Diesel–NG and HVO–Biogas) and Conventional Diesel Fuel in a CI Engine

“…Thus, the alcohols will be used in the processing of forest, food, and other biomass waste if it is suitable for use as a fuel in the transport sector. One of these products is HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil), which has huge resources [71]. Policies and regulations have a direct impact on the use and production of HVO on a global scale [72].…”

The Use of Genetic and Gene Technologies in Shaping Modern Rapeseed Cultivars (Brassica napus L.)

“…Regarding renewable and sustainable resources, erucic acid from canola oil is an excellent raw material in producing polymers used in film manufacture, nylon, lubricant, and emolient industries [ 13 , 17 ]. Furthermore, with the increasing demand of canola oil for food and efforts to promote renewable resources of high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR, 45–60% erucic acid), varieties have been grown in European countries for biofuel and raw oil supplement (<2% of total weight of crushed seeds) for human consumption [ 88 , 89 ]. By overexpressing the fatty acid elongase gene ( fae1 ) simultaneously with the lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase gene from Limnanthes douglasii (Ld-LPAAT), erucic acid synthesis was predominant over PUFA synthesis in competitive elongation to the triaclyglycerol backbone in transgenic lines, which resulted in an increase in erucic acid content of up to 72% and a PUFA content as low as 6% [ 13 ].…”

“…Despite the protein-rich content of canola meal (38%, by meal weight) and wide adoption of low glucosinolate (GSL) varieties, antinutritional compounds, typically, phenolics, sinapine, and phytate, are still challenging the use of by-products of canola oil production as animal feed [ 16 , 91 ]. The expansion of biofuel production from canola [ 89 ] has led to significantly additional volumes of canola meal as a by-product and promoted feed industry [ 16 , 92 ]. However, in the study of Skugor et al [ 93 ], the replacement of rapeseed meal for soybean meal as 20% supplement of diet for growing finishing pigs in 3 months, produced elevated expression of major control factors of energy generation, reduced protein synthesis in muscle tissue, and greater expression of oxidative stress, which was caused by higher fiber content and GSL compounds and other secondary metabolites in rapeseed meal.…”

Applications of an electronic nose in the prediction of oxidative stability of stored biodiesel derived from soybean and waste cooking oil

“…In this context, biodiesel has an important role to play in the provision of an alternative fuel for the future. The production of biodiesel from oil crops and animal fats represents a significant technological advance, and the use of the fuel either alone or blended with petrodiesel has been encouraged and adopted by many countries, most especially by members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [6] . In Brazil, the production, transportation, storage and marketing of biodiesel must comply with the specifications issued by the Brazilian Petroleum Authority ( Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gas Natural e Biocombustíveis ; ANP) [7] .…”
