“…In recent decades, new energy sources that are renewable and less polluting have been researched and compared to fossil fuels, widely used today. 1,2 In this sense, biodiesel emerges as one of the most promising energy alternatives, since it is a renewable, biodegradable and considerably less polluting fuel than petroleum diesel. 3,4 Chemically, biodiesel could be defined as alkyl esters, produced through the transesterification and esterification reactions of triacylglycerols in the presence of short-chain alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol.…”

“…Fossil fuels are responsible for climate change and associated problems. Biodiesel can be an alternate option for transportation fuel with easy availability and low carbon emission (Topare et al 2022). For overall sustainability, it is required to examine the environmental and economic indicators of biodiesel (Janaun and Ellis 2010) through an appropriate selection of feedstocks (Nayab et al 2022).…”

Sustainability assessment is vital to determine the relative superiority among alternatives, characterized by multiple sustainability indicators. Various methods, such as the Euclidean distance method, geometric mean method, elimination et choice translating reality (ELECTRE), etc., have been suggested in the literature to identify the most sustainable option among alternatives. These diverse approaches adopt different normalization and aggregation formulations (the two most significant steps of any sustainability assessment), leading to conflicting results. This paper proposes a generalized sustainability framework to identify the most suitable alternative quantitatively. The proposed framework identifies various mathematical and physical characteristics of normalization and aggregation processes and identifies mathematical functions that satisfy these characteristics. Based on the desired characteristics, the proposed approach identifies the min-max normalization function and a novel antinorm-based aggregation function as the most appropriate for a quantitative sustainability framework. The applicability of the proposed framework is illustrated via different case studies from the literature: sustainable power plants for electricity generation in Portugal, sustainable feedstock for the biodiesel supply chain, and sustainable negative emission technologies. The results are compared with those reported in the literature, and the efficacy of the suggested framework is demonstrated. The proposed framework may be utilized for multi-criteria decision-making.

liquid biofuels are one of the most widely utilized today, bioethanol and biodiesel are essential to the development and advancement of the industry. In this research, an experimental investigation of the effects of biofuel blends with diesel on pollutant emissions and combustion characteristics of a 350-kW industrial burner. Tested fuel blends were D100, D50B50 (50% diesel and 50% biodiesel by volume), D50B50E15 (50% diesel, 50% biodiesel, and 15% bioethanol by volume), and D50B50E25 (50% diesel, 50% biodiesel and 25% bioethanol by volume). The equivalence ratio was adjusted to five values by varying the air flow rate and maintaining the fuel flow rate constant at 0.14 l/min.CO, HC, soot, and NOx were measured. Also, flame temperatures were recorded at different positions. The result indicates that utilizing the fuel blends D50B50, D50B50E15, and D50B50E25 reduces CO by (about 19, 69, and 65%), HC by (about 18, 37 and 28%), and smoke opacity emissions by (about 8, 50, and 30%) respectively, compared to diesel fuel. On the other hand, NOx emission significantly rises at D50B50E15 and D50B50E25. In terms of combustion characteristics. Biofuel mixture D50B50, D50B50E15, and D50B50E25 increase exhaust gas temperatures by (about 2, 3 and 1%), and maximum gas flames (about 5, 9 and 4%) respectively, compared to diesel. The ethanol percentage of more than 15% in the blends lowers the maximum flame temperature within the furnace and reduces the length and area of the flame. It is evident from this research that biofuel for industrial burners can produce optimum combustion characteristics and lower emissions.
