“…HC emission for biodiesel also decreased with increase in engine load and this may be attributed to high fuel consumption. This was similar to the trend obtained by Onwudili et al (2023). According to (Rachan, 2018), an increased air to fuel ratio in the combustion chamber as a result of an increase in engine load enables better combustion leading to a reduction in the quantity of unburned HC.…”

The biodiesel potential of waste avocado fruit was investigated. This study is essential for utilizing the enormous waste generated from avocado cultivation in Nigeria. Biodiesel was produced using a twostep acid-base catalyzed transesterification process. The acid catalyzed esterification step was required to convert the free fatty acids present in the oil to methyl esters. Important biodiesel properties such as flash point, viscosity, cetane value and density were determined to be 154C, 5.58 cSt, 62.69 and 873 kg/m 3 respectively. The optimum condition for maximum biodiesel yield was established. The engine performance test was carried out using a Perkins diesel engine, the effect of break power and engine speed on both Break Thermal Efficiency (BTE) and Break Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) of the biodiesel and its blend were studied while performing at average load. The emission test was carried out using a portable gas analyzer. The CO and HC emission from the APO (Avocado pear Oil) biodiesel was significantly lower than that of petrol diesel but with slightly higher traces of NOX present. The obtained results showed that APO biodiesel can be comfortably used in a compression ignition engine without undergoing any modification while also generating better emission.

Microalgal Feedstock for Biofuel Production: Recent Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspective

Globally, nations are trying to address environmental issues such as global warming and climate change, along with the burden of declining fossil fuel reserves. Furthermore, countries aim to reach zero carbon emissions within the existing and rising global energy crisis. Therefore, bio-based alternative sustainable feedstocks are being explored for producing bioenergy. One such renewable energy resource is microalgae; these are photosynthetic microorganisms that grow on non-arable land, in extreme climatic conditions, and have the ability to thrive even in sea and wastewater. Microalgae have high photosynthetic efficiencies and biomass productivity compared to other terrestrial plants. Whole microalgae biomass or their extracted metabolites can be converted to various biofuels such as bioethanol, biodiesel, biocrude oil, pyrolytic bio-oil, biomethane, biohydrogen, and bio jet fuel. However, several challenges still exist before faster and broader commercial application of microalgae as a sustainable bioenergy feedstock for biofuel production. Selection of appropriate microalgal strains, development of biomass pre-concentrating techniques, and utilization of wet microalgal biomass for biofuel production, coupled with an integrated biorefinery approach for producing value-added products, could improve the environmental sustainability and economic viability of microalgal biofuel. This article will review the current status of research on microalgal biofuels and their future perspective.

“…Such hydrocarbon solvent has been reported to be stable and reduces char formation during biomass/bio-oil stabilization and upgradation. [37][38][39] Detailed analysis of the resulting bio-oil (GCxGC-MS, 2D HSQC NMR) coupled with the catalyst characterization (X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), NH 3 -temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy) shows unique insights regarding structureactivity relationships for this application.…”
