Potential renewable oxygenated biofuels for the aviation and road transport sectors

Economic evaluation of technology for a new generation biofuel production using wastes

“…Furthermore, butanol-1 can be also produced by fermentation from raw materials of low cost (Becerra et al, 2015). 16 The production cost of the new generation biofuel using bulk liquid wastes such as vinasse and whey, is promising and it is the half of that of lignocellulosic biomass.…”

“…Several studies have been carried out to evaluate the properties of such biofuels (ethyl-, butyl-and pentyl-esters) and to test them in compression-ignition and spark-ignition engines (Contino et al, 2011(Contino et al, , 2014Jenkins et al, 2013). The advantage of these ester-based biofuels is that the OAs and alcohols needed for the esterification can be simultaneously produced by acidogenesis of lowvalue biomass wastes (Contino et al, 2011).…”

Roadmap for sustainable aviation biofuels for Brazil — A Flightpath to Aviation Biofuels in Brazil

“…Therefore, a large number of feedstocks can be used in the production of biofuels for aviation. However, important requirements such as capacity to improve yields, low direct and indirect emissions, high efficiency in land use and positive social and economic impacts also need to be fulfilled (JENKINS et al, 2013).…”

In Situ Biocatalytic Synthesis of Butyl Butyrate in Diesel and Engine Evaluations

“…In comparison, higher alcohols such as 1‐octanol are more compatible with diesel but are more difficult to produce by fermentation technologies . Butyl butyrate (BB) has been suggested as a potential blend in fuels for petrol and jet fuels but very little data is available on actual engine performance particularly for diesel engines . In general, BB and similar esters are used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries and produced by chemical esterification by using inorganic catalysts at elevated temperatures and pressures .…”
