“…Almost all biofuel currently produced is ethanol or biodiesel which, due to contamination and safety concerns, cannot be used in aircraft engines (Waterland et al, 2003;Hileman et al, 2009). Therefore, additional biofuel technologies need to be developed that are compatible with existing infrastructure and aircraft (Hileman et al 2009).…”

The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change combines cutting-edge scientific research with independent policy analysis to provide a solid foundation for the public and private decisions needed to mitigate and adapt to unavoidable global environmental changes. Being data-driven, the Program uses extensive Earth system and economic data and models to produce quantitative analysis and predictions of the risks of climate change and the challenges of limiting human influence on the environment-essential knowledge for the international dialogue toward a global response to climate change.To this end, the Program brings together an interdisciplinary group from two established MIT research centers: the Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) and the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEPR). These two centers-along with collaborators from the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole and short-and longterm visitors-provide the united vision needed to solve global challenges.At the heart of much of the Program's work lies MIT's Integrated Global System Model. Through this integrated model, the Program seeks to: discover new interactions among natural and human climate system components; objectively assess uncertainty in economic and climate projections; critically and quantitatively analyze environmental management and policy proposals; understand complex connections among the many forces that will shape our future; and improve methods to model, monitor and verify greenhouse gas emissions and climatic impacts.This reprint is one of a series intended to communicate research results and improve public understanding of global environment and energy challenges, thereby contributing to informed debate about climate change and the economic and social implications of policy alternatives.

“…This indicates that as the temperature of the bio-oil increases, its ability to conduct heat relative to its ability to store heat increases. The diffusivities of these oils are much lower than commonly used fuels: diesel fuel 4.6 mm 2 /s, ethanol 10.0 mm 2 /s, and gasoline 6.4 mm 2 /s (Waterland et al, 2003).…”

As the quantity of ethanol produced in the U.S. continues to expand, so too does the need for value-added applications for the resulting coproducts. Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), corn gluten meal (CGM), and corn gluten feed (CGF) are the primary coproducts of ethanol manufacturing (which includes dry grind processing and wet milling). The main consumer of these coproducts is the livestock industry, which utilizes these materials as animal feed and ingredients due to their high nutrient contents, good palatability and digestibility, and relatively low cost; however, new value added uses are starting to arise. This study will examine the pyrolysis of DDGS and CGM. Extensive characterization of the resulting bio-oil included mass density, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, apparent viscosity, and energy content. Potential opportunities for extracting value from these materials will also be explored and discussed.
