Low and Zero Carbon Clean Fuels

This book comprehends the characteristics, creation and utilization of biofuels derived from different feedstocks like edible oil, non-edible oil, cooked waste, chicken fat and algae. It covers recent energy scenarios, environmental issues and solutions, biodiesel production techniques and the optimization of process parameters, such as selection of feedstock for biofuels production. Bioethanol production from different feedstocks and pretreatment techniques, biogas upgrading technology, storage and utilization in dual fuel engines is also included.

Features:

Discusses the production and application of the low/zero carbon fuelProvides information on the legislation and standards for the adoption of these fuelsIncludes statistical data and pricing of the current situation of raw materials, products and utilities costsExplores the adoption of machine-learning algorithms like ANN for the production processesConsider safety aspects, regulatory policies and sustainable use directionsThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical and mechanical engineering, alternative fuels and combustion engines.
