Solar fuels from water and CO2 are a topic of current large scientific and industrial interest. Research advances on bioroutes, concentrated solar thermal and low-temperature conversion using semiconductors and a photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) approach, are critically discussed and compared in an attempt to define challenges and current limits and to identify the priorities on which focus research and development (R&D). The need to produce fuels that are easy to transport and store, which can be integrated into the existing energy infrastructure, is emphasized. The role of solar fuels produced from CO2 in comparison with solar H2 is analyzed. Solar fuels are complementary to solar to electrical energy conversion, but they still need intensified R&D before possible commercialization.

“…Filter clogging and fuel line degradation have been reported when using blends higher than B20 [27]. However, with some modifications of the diesel engine, biodiesel can be used as fuel in moderate and cold climate, otherwise, the operation of such engine turns out to be quite bothering, especially due to high viscosities of these oils which might cause filter clogging and makes it necessary to start the diesel with conventional fuel [28]. Biodiesel can be processed from cheap and available raw materials which are sustainable and renewable at a significantly reduced cost, without posing any threat to the environment unlike fossil diesel.…”

“…Biodiesel can be processed from cheap and available raw materials which are sustainable and renewable at a significantly reduced cost, without posing any threat to the environment unlike fossil diesel. Also, substantial ecological benefits results from the use of this new fuel in that, there is no increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, almost no sulphur (IV) oxide emission and reduced carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and particulate in the exhaust gas when used [28]. The use of biodiesel results in significantly lower emissions of carbon monoxide, sulphur (IV) oxide, particulate matter, toxic contaminants, hydrocarbons, visible smoke and noxious odours [13].…”

“…In order to introduce this new fuel into market, a large scale demonstration of activities is necessary. These activities include: standardization of the fuel, economic use of its by-product, large scale laboratory and field tests of engines, demonstration of the production of methyl ester (biodiesel) in pre-industrial plant, additional financial support from government, all levels and careful study on ecology, micro and macro-economic effects and profitability [28]. Therefore, the use of biodiesel over fossil diesel boasts economic, quality, environmental and safety benefits.…”

The need for quality control of biodiesel is important to ensure the development of a clean, trouble free and safe alternative fuel technology to fossil diesel. In this work, the gas chromatography analysis of the biodiesel produced from used frying oil was carried out using PerkinElmer Clarus 500 Gas Chromatograph (GC), fitted with a capillary split injector and Fourier Infrared Detector (FID). Also, the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used to determine and monitor the concentration of biodiesel produced from used and unused palm olein oil. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis was carried out using the FTIR Spectroscopy (FTIR 1-S Shimadzu, Japan, Model 4100) and Microlab software as well as Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) sample interface system. 0.5 ml of samples of the unused palm olein oil and biodiesel were taken in at the interface at a resolution of 4 cm-1 within the region of 4000 cm-1 to 400 cm-1 . The GC-MS analysis did not indicate any soap-like material, indicating that the catalyst was able to handle transesterification reaction without transition to saponification reaction. The results of the interaction between the components of the fuel samples and the radiation as a function of wavelength indicates the functional groups and the type of vibration in the fuel samples. The results obtained indicate the presence of an intense band of C=O stretching of methyl ester and O-CH3 group. It also show concentration of the five main fatty acids that are present in most biodiesel; palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids indicating the successful transesterification of palm olein oil to biodiesel.

“…Ethanol from sweet sorghum can be sourced from three parts, namely raw material for brix sugar, which comes from stalk sap, bagasse (cellulose), and seeds (starch). When sweet sorghum seeds are physiologically ripe, the total biomass consists of about 75% of stalks, 10% of leaves, 5% of seeds, and 10% of roots [1].…”

Sweet sorghum is a potential plant as a raw material for bioethanol. This plant has the potential to be developed in tropical, semi-tropical and arid climates. To obtain information on elite lines as raw material for ethanol, it is necessary to characterize qualitative and quantitative traits. This study aims to obtain information about the quantitative and qualitative characters of several sweet sorghum lines that have the potential as raw materials for bioethanol. The research was carried out from August to December 2019 on the Experimental Farm of Indonesian Cereals Research Institute (ICERI), at Maros, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The genetic materials used in this study were ten sweet sorghum lines, namely 15020B, 1115-C, 4-183ABEOTO, AB-6-1-1, EA-13-1-1, KL2, 10 (1-1), 23 (1-1), Buleleng Abang and WR2 and two varieties as check, namely Super-1 and Super-2, using a randomized block design in which genotype was the treatment factor. Qualitative data is explained by a descriptive method which refers to UPOV. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences in the quantitative and qualitative characters. Significantly different characters quantitatively were plant height, leaf length, leaf width, day to flowering, panicle length, and weight of 1000 grains. While the significant qualitative data are green leaf intensity, leaf bone color, pistil color, pistil length, dry stamen color, panicle shape, panicle density after pollination, self-pollination, husk color, husk length, grain color, seed shape, and endosperm texture. Based on morphological data, the promising elite lines as raw material for bioethanol were EA-13-1-1, KL2, WR2, Buleleng Abang, 61 (1-1) and 15020B. However, other scientific supporting data are needed to recommend superior sweet sorghum lines as raw material for bioethanol.
