Combating global warming while enhancing the future

Transesterification of sunflower oil on single step sol–gel made Al2O3 supported CaO catalysts: Effect of basic strength and basicity on turnover frequency

“…Eighty-eight percentage of the world energy consumption is provided by the carbon based non-renewable fuels, such as petroleum and natural gas with limited reserves and their use causes environmental problems, such as air, water, and soil pollutions (Baruch, 2008). In fact, transportation is responsible for 28% of total CO 2 emission in the world (Zachariadis and Kouvaritakis, 2003).…”

Transesterification of Nannochloropsis oculata microalga’s lipid to biodiesel on Al2O3 supported CaO and MgO catalysts

“…The release of the carbon oxides and related inorganic oxides are more than the amount that could be absorbed by the natural sinks in the world since 88% of the world energy demand is provided by carbon based non-renewable fuels (Baruch, 2008). It is vital to develop solutions to prevent and/or reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, to the atmosphere.…”

Algal Biomass and Biodiesel Production

“…The negative impacts of global warming, now accepted as a serious problem by many people, have clearly been observed for past decade and seem to intensify every year. The release of the carbon oxides and related inorganic oxides are more than the amount that could be absorbed by the natural sinks in the world since 88% of the world energy demand is provided by carbon based non-renewable fuels (Baruch, 2008). It is vital to develop solutions to prevent and/or reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, to the atmosphere.…”
